He does put his code where his mouth is, even if others may prefer things to be different. It's hard to swallow that we may have a Linus in our midst, but he's running in his own direction while most of us spectators are horrified that he'd dare break away from the pack. It's hard to predict whether this is going to be good or bad, I'm willing, nay, keen, to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Linux I manage to avoid completely, but Windows has infected far too many minds, including my girlfriend's, so I have to provide some support for it. I may as well enjoy some of its features :-( > + xcpu Sounds like I need to investigate this, but given the trouble I have with the simple problem of sending mail from a diskless Plan 9 workstation that is on the wrong side of a firewall from the CPU/file server, I'm not sure I want to discover how little I understand. Add to that a budget for only the most obsolete of equipment and xcpu does not seem terribly relevant. I'm happy to be proven wrong, however. ++L
