Wesley,
Though I'm sure Sun would be very happy with this claim,
others such as Celera Genomics seem to think that TruUnix scales
pretty well. (Good enough to process the entire first pass of
the Human Genome project.) Let's not turn this group into a Sun
propaganda mill. After all, Netatalk is one of the mainstays
of the GPL world and it's certainly true that if Sun REALLY
ruled the world, this free and excellent program would never
have been born in its current form. Also, Linux is still just
a baby, so we'll see how things scale as it grows up. :-)
