Cool. > > http://www.dukenews.duke.edu/Research/GIGABIT.HTM Yes, my boss decided he wanted his 15 minutes of fame ;-) I tried hard to get FreeBSD a bigger mention than the rather poorly worded one that ended up coming out, but to little avail. After all, it is the BSD TCP stack that deserves the bulk of the credit; we were basically in the right place at the right time. It was very annoying that the person who wrote the local News & Observer article seemed disappointed that we were not running linux & probably because of that, didn't mention the OS at all in her article.
