Lest we forget, let us add a note of gratitude to the author of Minix, Andrew (?) Tannenbaum, who, on learning that Linus had turned his minix into a "real" operating system, asked Linus to take minix out of his kernel, since Minix was designed as an educational tool, not a fully functional OS. So the Linux kernel was rewritten (not for the last time) and made more efficient in the process. -lar He that shall oppose an assault only with a shield to receive the blows, or in any more respectful posture, without a sword in his hand, to abate the confidence and force of the assailant... will find such a defence serve only to draw upon himself the worse usage. - John Locke, TREATISE OF CIVIL GOVERNMENT - Subcription/unsubscription/info requests: send e-mail with "subscribe", "unsubscribe", or "info" on the first line of the message body to discuss-request at blu.org (Subject line is ignored).
