What's wrong with sharing network protocols WITH THE REST OF THE WORLD? why not use Linux if you don't want your OS to be OWNED by Billie? Why not buy parts from Asia if you're scared the big bad y man is going to colonise you again? [QUOTE]Originally posted by meninarmer: [qb] This is called, third party integration. [/qb][/QUOTE]"Third party integration" can mean a lot of things in "computer talk" and you and I know what you're implying and the REALITY of the situation are two seperate things. If for example, a Nigerian manufacturer came up with a chip to match Intel's newest and shinniest, we would start a program of buying exclusively servers with that chip in it. Within a decade we would not have any Intel based servers left. In any case, what is the BIG DEAL with using third party products if you don't have homegrown ones? what are you a "work prevention" officer in your day job? :D [/qb][/QUOTE]I know EVERYTHING about computers. Internet protocols are NOT shared. Rather, they are LICENSED. There is absolutely nothing wrong with using Linux or any real Unix either. This is not the discussion, however by building your own Open Source Sun processor, it would be 100% compatible with any Linux distro and would be the best Operating system to use to bring the system up. Since all of the Open Source versions of the internet protocols such as DHCP, SIP, RIP, FFS, Ext-x, MPLS, LAPD, are contained in Linux, it is a feasible platform to deploy to side step large corporation licensing issues using PROPRIETARY schemes (Microsoft). Since it is a SPARC processor, it will also run Sun's OpenSolaris. Instead of those children above using Asian designed and built, very low end laptops, they could instead use a version of the above Open Source SPARC processor coupled with Linux, designed and manufactured in Africa, by Africans and offer 10x the performance of the above Asian built laptops. There is nothing wrong with that. [/QB][/QUOTE]
