We've just sort of terminated the previous thread about this: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2004-October/040474.html And it is a LONG thread. One of the more essentail remarks made bij PHK was that this type of testing is close to no use/good. And to be honest: previously discussed number were even worse. And were probably dues to hardware which was designed/backed on monday-morning. First problem is that you need to determine what you want to do with your system. Please read the thread. --WjWReceived on Wed Oct 27 2004 - 11:25:35 UTC
