I read this on that news page also: Rick LeFaivre has posted this encouraging note on the newsgroups, assuring us that they are well aware of the technical concerns being raised by Amigans (such as TCP/IP problems and choice of GFX card). It will have a floppy drive, BTW;)
What exactly *are* the problems with the linux TCP/IP stack? I'm hoping that all the FUD that that Amiga Modern Internet guy spewed a week or so ago didn't take home for Amiga users. From what I gathered, it was complete BS.
the only thing I can think is that it doesn't work as fast as NT's on quad CPU systems with 4 Ethernet cards (not your average Amiga system). After all, why would linux be the fastest growing server OS if it had a *bad* stack?
I don't personally know much about the Linux TCP/IP stack, but it really doesn't seem like there's anything terribly wrong with it that it can't function as a single user, home system (or even a midrange server). I personally think these Amiga zealots need to take another look around. Linux doesn't need them at all. On the other hand however, Amiga *cannot* survive with out Linux
btw, the "note" that was pointed to didn't mention the TCP/IP stack itself _ "Subtle mind control? Why do all these HTML buttons say 'Submit' ?"

pr0n on the other hand is everywhere, its as bad as spam, some pr0n sites even index with words like "autos" and "SUVs" in attempts to get as much linkage as posible. if you look for words like "pictures" or "girls" or "teens"... you get pr0n. it really sucks.
