I do understand them. A good paper on the subject can be found here: http://www.ece.cmu.edu/~ganger/papers/usenix2000.pdf > bsd runlevels? jails? ...more?

Getting it done vs getting it done right is why we didn't go with BSD at mp3. Having an imperfect implementation is often better than none at all. More time has passed and now Linux has pretty darn good SMP since the removal of the global lock and people report excellent scalability up to rediculous numbers of cpu's on IBM S/390's or whatever they are called today. > sign of the penguin is clearly on your forehead. and the licensing is > very different, no "enforced open source".

I thought they were implying that BSD had it's own libc etc. But if it uses glibc etc. also I'm no longer sure what was meant by that statement. - -- Tracy R Reed http://[EMAIL PROTECTED] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD4DBQFCQjrx9PIYKZYVAq0RAtMGAJwPK9jvAH0ZkwLcx9EfsfqMTDIagQCYzCNf bgwv/YAH3glaQYD9YJVi7Q== =vvfe -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
