News of ftp.cdrom.com's performance have made it beyond our sheltered mailing lists. Although the article centers on CRL, it mentions FreeBSD in a positive light, to say the least. URL: http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/980730/crl_networ_1.html Excerpt from article: ----- Walnut Creek CDROM set the record of transferring 417 gigabytes of files in one day, surpassing Microsoft Corporation's [Nasdaq:MSFT - news] record of transferring approximately 350 gigabytes of files per day during the Windows95 release. Microsoft used more than 40 server machines to achieve the previous record, while Walnut Creek CDROM used a single 200MHz Intel Pentium Pro processor running FreeBSD. ----- To which I can only say, "Impressive . . . most impressive."
