From that viewpoint, it is not Working threads? NFS? I have nothing but FreeBSD on my machines, but I often hear the comment that someone chose or went back to Linux because it has more "support" for various things. And lately the amount of software I can't build because it relies on threads is growing. (I think we've "copied" Linux's implementation somewhere, but it doesn't seem to be in the standard distribution.. sound familiar?) I'm not advocating Linux, but I don't think we should be saying things that make us look hypocritical. -- Christopher Masto Senior Network Monkey NetMonger Communications chris@netmonger.net info@netmonger.net http://www.netmonger.net Free yourself, free your machine, free the daemon -- http://www.freebsd.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
