Internet speed record using Debian

[V.Sessink@openoffice.nl (Valentijn Sessink)]

Hello list,

I thought you might want to see this:

http://archives.internet2.edu/guest/archives/I2-NEWS/log200205/msg00003.html

"Washington, DC-May 7, 2002--An international team set a new record for
Internet performance by transferring the equivalent of an entire compact
disc's contents across more than 7608 miles (12,272 km) of network in 13
seconds." [...]
"On both ends standard PC-like hardware running Debian GNU/LINUX
was used."

(And don't you tell me that it wasn't the operating system that counts here
and that I should just look at the cabling ;-)

V.
