was not supposed to go to the mailing list, but I did not see the list on my "to"
line.

But now that the cat is out, if you are using Linux in a networked environment and
have some time available, please check out http://www.cup.hp.com/netperf/, the
netperf home page. Netperf is a cross-system, cross-OS, cross-network
architecture benchmark. There are very few Linux numbers in there, so if you
feel like joining, your contribution would be very much appreciated.

Still not exactly related to kernel development, but it makes me feel less
guilty.

Kimon.
