Ok, the opinions are coming in, mostly from people who seem to
like them. Now two specific questions:

Everyone alludes to bad I/O (read: disk) performance, can
someone be a little more specific (don't feel you have to
give high-quality benchmarks, just some reasonable examples,
comparisons, of course, a benchmark would be nice, like if you're
the only one on the system maybe write a program to read 1000 blocks
and another to write 1000 blocks in a tight loop and just send us
the output of the 'time' command.)

Second question, does it or does it not support TCP/IP, particularly
on ethernet but if it does a list of supported devices would be nice
and if it doesn't will it in the near future?

Thanks in advance,
