linux kernel
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 mipsparisc s390 sh sparc64 armi386 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) Greg -- Greg McCarroll http://www.mccarroll.uklinux.net

Ooh, isn't that the architecture used by the author of "Porting gcc for idiots" (or similar)? I had a look at that because I'm very vaguely contemplating getting a C compiler to MMIX (Knuth's pseudo-assembly language that will replace MIX). I'd need to get an enormous supply of tuits, and probably a compiler book or two, but who knows. Cheers, Philip -- Philip Newton [EMAIL PROTECTED] All opinions are my own, not my employer's.
