You know Linux is becoming far to good when ....
you learn about new architectures by looking at the kernel source.
There i was innocently getting ready to do a 2.4.2 build this morn
when i happened to glance in arch/ and found cris, wtf is cris
i thought to myself it turns out i already new about the systems
(etrax from axis) but still its a shock to see something in arch
you don't recognise.
Last time i looked was 2.3.37 with this .....
[gem@scully linux-2.3.37]$ ls arch/
alpha arm i386 m68k mips ppc sh sparc sparc64
and now .....
[gem@buffy linux-2.4.2]$ ls arch/
alpha cris ia64 mips parisc s390 sh sparc64
arm i386 m68k mips64 ppc s390x sparc
they are busy little beavers in the linux kernel community (although
i believe some of this is roling stuff in the main distro for 2.4,
although i could be wrong)
