I seem to remember a "don't post this email on the list here's what's up" message from you I that I honored your instructions and did not post, nor will I, but I recall some reasonable suggestions from it. :-) You are certainly free and welcome to take a > look at any code and documentation released, but as visible in the past > couple of email exchanges, our technical views about Linux networking > scalability differ in fundamental ways. I've been working on LAN scalability for almost 20 years, and NetWare LAN performance vs. Linux (or TUX) speaks for itself. I would agree that someone coming from a Unix background would have radically different views than someone coming from the group who created the Networking industry that made "LAN" a household word to the world at large. It's the differences of all those who work on Linux that make it such a potent mix of skills and views. I think this is a very good thing, and I take your comment as a compliment. :-) Jeff > > Ingo > > - > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in > the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org > Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
