If you can post the diff here I'll pick it up that way. Thank you.

Then killfile the stupid sonofabitch like the rest of us and stop quoting
him. Then we won't have to see his posts.

Are the Longson/Godson MIPS boxes available over the counter yet? If so
where is the best place to order one? Thanks.

Not true. Several Linux distros run and are supported on mainframes. Debian,
SuSE, Fedora, RedHat etc. There was even a Slackware port.

I consider that hardware abuse but it does work. Really none of the OS that
run on desktops or servers can exploit what a mainframe is designed to do,
it really doesn't make sense to use them. However a mainframe running VM
with hundreds or thousands of Linux guests does make sense. It's green since
it replaces many servers and uses less power and takes up less space.
