I posted this last week and hadn't seen a repsonse to it, is there someone that
cares to take a poke at this? Just wondering if there's some form of memory
checking that's going on that Linux would not have, or not have turned on by
default. This is failry important as I would MUCH rther be running FreeBSD 4.10
than RedHat 9.
