Re: [SLUG] The origins of vmlinuz and mgetty

|i came to think that peraps m stands for MIT, or alt. someones name
|like Michael etc.

Not MIT, the author was a German, Gert Doering. His name, possibly, but
it would have to be a middle initial or his mother's name or maybe even
his site muc.de. People do name things that could possibly be a
references to themselves, kind of a sly attempt at immortality. The
French discover of gallium said that he named it after France (Gaul),
but his name was LeCoq (Gallus) so it's suspected he wanted to sneak his
name into the periodic table.
