Well, ok this got my interest.  Looks like apache.com has been
paying attention to AAC's posts over the years, though I wonder
why they would configure a Conner 1.08 GB drive for FreeBSD.
Really neat company manifesto, too, if you're the sort of person
that collects non-standard ideologies (which I do :-).

I'm deep into making switched 100BASE-TX technology work with
fast FreeBSD systems these days, and none of the cool stuff  has made 
it to http://www.geli.com yet.  Stay tuned... >>8 MBytes/s between
