What good is efficiency when it sacrifices stability and reliability? I find Linux code to be bloated, untested, and added at whim of a developer or two who has/have clout. All Linux h/w drivers are typically "blobs" - written by the device manufacturer, and used "as-is". I doubt if a serious scrutiny of these happens, since Linux requires to support all known h/w to mankind in its race to world domination. Please note this is not a Linux bashing thread on a Linux group -- I am merely pointing out technical de-merits of Linux in comparison to BSD. -Amarendra _______________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List
