"Red Hat Linux Advanced Server provides many high end features such as:
Support for Asynchronous I/O. Now read I/O no longer needs to stall your
application while waiting for completion."
Could it be? After 20 years without this feature UNIX finally catches up to
Windows and has I/O that doesnt totally suck for nontrivial apps? No way!
OK, so they do it with signals or a flag, which is completely ghetto, but at
least they are trying. Keep trying guys, you got the idea, but not the clue.
