    That feature is still in development. If you really need it, perhaps you should use Windows 2003 until the 2.6 kernel comes out.

    ok here is the short:

    Linux = good
    BSD = good
    NT = bad
    proprietary Unix = good but expensive
    BeOS = bad
    Plam = wtf is plam?

    here is a comparison:

    Linux VS NT = linux wins
    bsd vs nt = bsd wins
    anything vs NT = anything wins
    bsd vs linux = linux wins
    proprietary unix vs linux = linux wins but it's a tight race
    bsd vs proprietary unix = bsd wins again a tight race won by price and development model ;)
    plam vs anything = again wtf is plam?

    Love the idea!!

    Darl, doing 24 months hard time, runs into Bubba. -- Darl, meet Bubba, he's a 350 pound homosexual dominatrix, and absolute Linux fanatic. He also admins our prison Linux machines, I mean, ADMIN'D our Linux lab. You see, once SCO started charging Linux licenses, the warden ordered Bubba to remove all Linux and only allowed him to use Microsoft products.
