Lynne Jolitz, the co-creator of 386BSD, the first Berkeley Unix open source operating system, and SiliconTCP, the first ballistic protocol processing mechanism for wire-speed Internet transactions, contrasts past software mechanisms in operating systems with future hardware approaches. 5/00 Salon.Com USA.: The Unknown Hackers (by Rachel Chalmers). Bill and Lynne Jolitz may be the most famous programmers you've never heard of. Not many Linux-come-latelies know this, but Linux was actually the second open-source Unix-based operating system for personal computers to be distributed over the Internet. The first was 386BSD, which was put together by an extraordinary couple named Bill and Lynne Jolitz. In a 1993 interview in Meta magazine, Linus Torvalds himself name-checked their O.S. "If 386BSD had been available when I started on Linux," he said, "Linux would probably never have happened."

Das Internet droht am eigenen Erfolg zu ersticken, denn allzu oft sind die Pipelines verstopft. SiliconTCP, ein einfaches und dennoch wirkungsvolles Verfahren könnte viele Probleme lösen und die Performance verzehnfachen.
