They haven't agreed on a common use of CORBA, yet, AFAIK. One reason is that the Gnome guys use some kind of proprietary protocol to do the authentification (implemented directly in ORBit). I don't say they're wrong, but it's a problem when you want to use other ORB than ORBit. --
That's like saying that there should be memory leaks in the kernel because apps forget to free() all of their memory. Everywhere else in Unix, once the process dies, all its resources are freed.
But when a process allocates some *shared* memory, it won't be freed by the kernel once it has died. And there are sometimes leaks this way.
whilst linux supports everything under the sun 8-)
I think you haven't read what you wrote. F/BSD wants to be the fastest (ftp.cdrom.com is a running F/BSD), but NetBSD runs on more platforms than Linux does.
version 2.2 was out just before summer 1998 and the 2.4 will be out before the end of the year ? ok. He can say so, as usual, but we're talkin' about software, don't forget it.
2.2 also kicks ass on multiproc machines. but you already knew that...
I have to say that i do own a SMP system and using a 2.2.7 kernel was personnaly a real pain even though it took 2 weeks to discover it.
With the same configuration but with 2.0.36 (UP) kernel, the system was more responsive. I have now switched to the devel series (2.3) and it works quite nicely.
and just during [miracle !] one of the largest Linux conference ?

Since when does a secretary have to install a system ? She comes in, she logs in, she run the fscking icon which in turn launch a favorite desktop application, and voilà !
If something goes wrong, call the sysadmin. end of the story.
The installation doesn't have to be done by end-users.

Where i work we have a few NT servers which are always up and with a very high load. The only downtimes i have seen were were due to electrical shortage (is it the right word ?) and SP4 upgrade.
why not mySQL over Oracle ? because MySQL doesn't handle very well multi-user access to tables or locks. And neither MySQL nor PostgreSQL can do distributed/parallels DB AFAIK.
And what do you think about the fact that DEC has already sent Alpha Stations to Linus, even back when he still was in Finland ? i guess at the time it was at least a Jensen station.
Just to get some more names, a french portal called voila runs Linux (look at the icon at the bottom of the page near the IExplore one). And so does DejaNews.
But don't we just forget FreeBSD which has what might be the fastest tcp/ip stack for that kind of hardware. Just look at this nice bast*rd of ftp.cdrom.com who didn't let me in just because there were already 3600 users logged in. I guess this beast just explodes regularly most records and NT clusters Microsoft (r) can find. --
