I'm getting back to unix programming and hopefully I can contribute some small
programs.

My issue is performance and security, I don't care much about flexibility
anymore. I like linux because it is alot more friendlier then MS, at least
with linux you can tell if something failed, in MS you get a GPS. But the
company I work for has *outgrowed* linux, we have more attacks and different
stuff.

My ideal goal by the end of next May is to strip a linux kernel from alot of
the stuff that I would not normally need on a PII-400 Raid5 Megaraid.
I looked at the kernel code and I can see it will be if not the biggest task I
have ever done, the most challenging one.

I would think that the *BSD is alot faster then Linux ? no ?

Thx :)
