Minux has done exactly what it was designed to do: be a simple kernel that can be studied by students. It was intended for study and research, not production use. Andrew Tannenbaum refused to turn it into the general-purpose kernel that a lot of people wanted. Those people went to develop/use Linux and the BSDs. -- Sridhar Dhanapalan [Yama | http://www.pclinuxonline.com/] {GnuPG/OpenPGP: http://dhanapalan.webhop.net/yama.asc 0x049D38B4 : A7A9 8A02 78CB AB1B FCE4 EEC6 2DD9 249B 049D 38B4} "My advice is simple: Boycott IE.
