Been there, done that, helped bet the company on networks based on Linux servers. > Apache's success greatly contributed to the corporate acceptance of Linux, IMHO. Wrong again. Apache was not allowed to distribute strong encryption for e-commerce servers over that time frame. The solution we bought was O/S agnostic.

There was no alternative even *close*. -sb - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
