I used OS/2 for a long time, and got used to Fixpacks that you didn't apply unless you had one of the problems they addressed, and that also didn't introduce _new_ bugs. :-) The recent TPC results with DB2 on Linux are also pretty impressive.

(ftp.cdrom.com has shown what FreeBSD can do, but people seem to shrug it off.) --Apple-Mail-503264796-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/enriched; charset=us-ascii On Monday, May 21, 2001, at 09:11 AM, Kris Kirby wrote: <excerpt>On Mon, 21 May 2001, j mckitrick wrote: <excerpt>| *Sigh*.
