Hi,

Yes, we know it is an FAQ and everybody knows the correct answer "get the latest ping" but, even the best Linux distributions (you know who you are!) still come with the ping(8) that says 95% packet loss on lo.
Hope they take notice of this and correct their behaviour (while they are at it I hope they also trim down the /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit file which I always have to manually shorten (by almost an order of magnitude)).
