The last thing I want is to see newbies claiming all over the place that their bobomips is bigger than the others and so on. Every Linux doc says that bogomips are just that, "bogus" and that people should not take them in consideration. Even with that -- I know, newbies don't read docs -- we see in the "fr.comp.os.linux" group people talking about them as if they were Words Of Truth from time to time... even though it seems to happen less often now. We don't really need that at all IMO. -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- The daemon is FREE! -=- roberto@keltia.frmug.fr.net FreeBSD keltia.freenix.fr 2.2-CURRENT #7: Mon Nov 6 21:08:06 MET 1995
