I would say that their biggest problem is to prove that their new networking code works at all 8) It is kind of cute to show benchmark results even if they are not directly applicable;however, it is a different story to place the same OS in a production environment. It looks like the linux crowd threw everything they had at the networking code and after years of efforts they come up well code just about as fast as the BSD code . So they got a wheel just as fast as ours 8) Regards, Amancio
