Linux runs multi-threaded apps (e.g., AOLserver) quite well, and has for many years - since at least 2000 or so, probably earlier. My understanding is that the old LinuxThreads implementation had some pretty ugly bits, but it worked. NPTL is much better, and is standard with the Linux 2.6.x kernels. -- Andrew Piskorski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.piskorski.com/
