of reasoning follows
that the bar for Linux is a lot higher, because Windows is compatible
with everything currently in use. Thus Linux is introducing cost for no
short-term functional gain.

Hello all,
I'm looking for someone in central belt who will copy some PROMs for me,
off old SCSI hardware. Any ideas?
Alternatively, if someone has a working tool (as opposed to

port settings on Adaptec 2940 cards I'd be only
on a system I create for the occasion.

This is Eben Moglen, lawyer behind both the GPL3 and the GPL2 for nearly
15 years. You do need to book beforehand. (Depending on numbers the

Dear,
We released VMKNOPPIX. It was called Xenoppix but renamed to VMKNOPPIX
because it became a collection of Virtual Machine Softwares.
to maximise performance
- on the other hand, Hercules implements up to 4CPUs, which the others
can't, so perhaps people would find this useful for testing. Not
sure how that fits with the goals for VMoppix. If that matters.
