You obviously didn't google for "linus bastard speech", either.  It's the 
first hit.

American non sequitur society: we don't make sense, but we do like pizza.

Okay, hint: if BSD had "totally derailed" Linux back in 1992, why would we now 
be talking about how to virtualize Linux?  Anyone?  Anyone?  (Would <sarcasm> 
</sarcasm> tags around the whole thing have helped?)

Wow.  It _was_ possible to miss the sarcasm content of the first post.  And 
here I thought that it wasn't merely dripping with it, but that the sucker 
had been thorougly hosed down to the point of immersion, and had extra nailed 
to the side.

To answer the explicit questions for the sarcasm-blind: 1) UML development 
continues, Xen is a different project that competes with VMWare over in a 
different niche.  2) Who cares?  3) Linus doesn't use either one, so it would 
be tough for him to play favorites even if he was in the habit of playing 
favorites, which he's not.  4) You missed Adeos and Plex86.

I'm going to put away the troll food now.
