To: submit-linux-dev-net@ratatosk.yggdrasil.com From: Todd Graham Lewis <tlewis@mindspring.com> Date: Tue, 18 Jun 1996 19:27:36 -0400 In-Reply-To: <Pine.LNX.3.91.960615131612.120A-100000@iandi.demon.co.uk> <PLUG> Well, you could see my article in the May issue of the _Linux Journal_. I think that they still have back issues. The title was "The Rough and Tumble World of the Linux-based ISP", and it was nothing great, but ok. </PLUG> It will work. My experience at my new job has brought to my attention the problems which Linux has under network load. It has also brought to my attention the problems which every other OS has under network load. We built Cheney Comm.'s network with Linux, and the documentation and wide range of software saved my Exxon more than once. For beginners, Linux is a great way to go. Be forewarned, however, that it will not last you forever. If you grow, then you will have to grow beyond Linux, too, as there are network tasks where it simply does not hold up to the competition. Good luck, and I hope you're not planning to start up in the Southeastern US. Goodwill among Linuxers only goes so far. 8^) _____________________________________________________________________ Todd Graham Lewis Core Engineering Mindspring Enterprises tlewis@mindspring.com (Standard Disclaimers) (800) 719 4664, x2804
