Although any lugger would appreciate the difference, that's just irrelevant juggling of numbers for the end-user. 900kB/s (kilobytes per second) or 7.2Mb/s (megabits per second), it doesn't really matter which one you use as long as you don't mix them up. Bits is preferred when talking about link speeds, and bytes when talking about actual data throughput. _______________________________________________ The Uganda Linux User Group: http://linux.or.ug Send messages to this mailing list by addressing e-mails to: LUG@linux.or.ug Mailing list archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/lug@linux.or.ug/ Mailing list settings: http://kym.net/mailman/listinfo/lug To unsubscribe: http://kym.net/mailman/options/lug The Uganda LUG mailing list is generously hosted by INFOCOM: http://www.infocom.co.ug/ The above comments and data are owned by whoever posted them (including attachments if any).
