> Acked-by: xxxxx yyyyyy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Linux systems on VNET. I guess Linux at IBM is finally real. -- db (For those of you who missed the VNET era, VNET was/is IBM's internal communications network, at one point the largest communications network in the world (at the time, the Internet was a few hundred systems). It was based on NJE over a number of technologies, and had a VERY limited interface to the outside world (you had to be pre-approved on both sides, and the paperwork was pretty fierce. It used a highly modified (at least compared to the version that was available outside IBM at the time) version of RSCS to do most of the donkey work, and at its height had more than 50K nodes. A lot of the good things in RSCS v3 took origin in the VNET mods when IBM decided they should eat their own dog food and run internally what the customers ran (and rapidly discovered how good the internal version was vs what was shipping)). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
