It's just like ANY network.. you can have a home network, a enterprise network, a global network (like the Internet) and you can even route things in and out of those networks. Freenet is no different. It can be used to share content inside your house (and in that case it is not only incredibly slow, but also completely unapropriate), it can be used to share data across an enterprise (there's still little point to doing it and much better solutions exist) and it can be used on a global scale, in a world-wide dynamic environment (where its mechanisms to prevent censorship and prosecution become useful and attractive). Having that said, i've tried to use Freenet as a development plataform for an entreprise-wide distributed system and found it next to impossible to acomplish. Freenet is not flexible. It is meant for really big networks and that's the kind of environment where it performs well. And maybe that's how it is supposed to be :) -- Manuel Padilha [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hawk.freenetproject.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech
