Just a sour note. The CTC (Community and Techinical Colleges), an organization with lots of beurocracy, is trying to decrease their web traffic through the use of Squid. So now they have mandated that all community and technical colleges must have a LINUX box on campus to run this program. The real problem is that the people at the CTC don't know a thing about Linux. They are forcing it becuase the people at the U of Washington Support it, and they can ask questions to them. Luckily we already run squid on FreeBSD and had the mandate waived for us. They are also very worried about the Ping-o-Death. Is FreeBSD really immune to the ping-o-death, and is Linux not? This might help us turn them from the darkside. :-) Anyway :-((( Christopher J.
