This new stack should make linux be as fast or faster than NT. SGI knows more about Multi-thread, Multi-Processor systems that anyone else out there. This is great for Enterprise Linux.
The version of RH6.0 they are shipping includes their own updated version of the TCP/IP stack. Which I am sure will be incorporated into the next version.

Yeah, Lucent just bought some new company called Nexabit networks, they make routers that can move 1.4 terabits per second. Lucent is about to jump over cisco in terms of speed.
This is about Redhat, a coorporation that rewards people for helping them. I don't know about you, but I want to be apart of that. I would like to say that I have more than a passing interest in the company.
I want to be an original owner in RedHat, get their official earing's report, going to stockholders meetings, and all the other things that go along with being a stockholder.
RedHat has done a lot for us, and if RedHat has community share holders that will be better for them and us.
No one should be forced to join a union. If you don't like your job, quit. Don't force me to join a union. Choice is always good. Be it an OS, or a Job
I work at a large telecommunications company. At this location, the unskilled factory workers are union. While those of with true skills work for the company. Union people feel they work for the union. High tech people feel they work for themselves. I am going to list some of my major problems with unions in relation to our location.
All factory workers are required to join the Union. I Think this is unethical, and I don't see how we let this happen in America.
Factory workers are less likely to think about the good of the company. Unions perpetuate the idea of doing as little as possible. Not doing what is the best.
Unions do away with your ability to negotiate with your employer.With the current demand for high-tech employees, I like being able to convice my boss that if I stay till 2 A.M. I deserve an extra weekend on the next business trip. You don't have that with unions
Unions are only neccesary when employees have no true skill, only on the job training. Anyone can learn how to put a door on a car. Yet GM cannot afford to replace everyone at once, so unions make sense. However, Microsoft pays their employees well, and makes them millionaires in a few years.
We don't want or need labor unions. The labour unions promote what is best for them, like any other coorporation. Do you reall want another coorporation running your life?
And how exactly can something run java as fast as native code without breaking the laws of mathmatics?
You simply make bite code instructions, the machine code instructions. Include some basic threads that always run, implement a synchroization device and call it a java chip.
Next if the processor can "become" other architechtures, you could implement the correct libraries (see wine) and run windows, and mac, and unix binaries.
I think that would definately turn the computing word upside down
I live in Georgia, we already have to give them our fingerprints when we get our new license. It isn't stored on a chip though, it is encrypted on the back of the card

The courts have stated that is is legal to rip your own CD's. Now, we have know for a long time that there is nothing wrong with ripping your own CD's. However, The RIAA has maintained that ripping a CD and listening to music YOU PAID for is illigal. They were going to use this to their advantage to iradicate mp3's, and scare colleges into policies where all mp3's on networks are illigal. Now we have to law on our side saying you can rip your own CD's. The RIAA cannot spread this Fear, Uncertainty, and Illigality any longer. But remember, we have only won one battle. Not the war geach

I don't think so. I am an intern at a very large Information company. Over 6,000 people work at this instalation alone. There is also an office complex where I work. There is also a factory, with many union workers. Union workers can make good money. But are they free? Can they go to their job and request a raise? Is every factory worker here required to be apart of that union? Yes, closed shop. It is really sad someone would want this for Software profesionals. Unions really sicken me.
You know what?I have come to the point, where I prefer to configure a computer than to actually use it. I don't know why but whenever I get my computer running beautifully, just the way I want it, I reformat my hard drive and try a new distribution. Anyway, I guess this has made me learn a lot more about computers than I ever learned in computer class geach
HMMM, Rob, I have an idea, remember when we tested the new/. server, and banged the heck out of it. Why don't we do that one day for an NT server, and the next day for a linux one. We can do it at the same time and everything, then just don't tell anyone which was on one day and which was the other. I think this would tell us everything we need to know. Then again, I don't know if we could put slashdot on NT, but I think we could work out something that uses dynamic content, and would be a real world test.
This study has just proven to me that linux is more than fast enough. PC week said the linux box put out 1800 requests/sec to 3500 for NT, however after I did some calculations I realized that there numbers are way higher than they need be. 1800 requests/sec comes out to over 150 million requests / day. I think I can count the number of sites on the internet that need that kind of static web serving on my right hand. Oh yeah and then only 13.4 terabytes / day of data. Hmm. I really think this test shows that they both put and more than enough. So now we need tests showing stability. Let's see what the actual output is for a week, or even a month at these speeds, I am dying to know. javac
I agree, How can it be illigal to listen to something that someone else is BROADCASTING. I think that is ludicrist. If I broadcast something, unencrypted, I expect that someone will be able to hear me. I can't believe our hippocritical government pulled that one past us
