  1. The Applix 1616 project by Shiny+Metal+S. · · Score: 2 · on Andrew Morton And The Low-Latency Kernel Patch
    I haven't finished reading the article yet, because one thing caught my entire attention:
    Andrew Morton: Well, I've always been that-way inclined. Back in '86 I developed a build-it-yourself 68000-based computer. Both the hardware and its unix-like operating system. We sold about 400 of them. We licensed Minix from Macmillan and my great friend Colin McCormack ported it - I think this may have been the only non-PC port of Minix. The Applix 1616 project was fun, and a lot of people learned a lot of things.
    So I found The Applix 1616 project website. Very interesting read. I'd love to see something like this today. If anyone knows anything about something similar to 1616 which is available today, please share with us.

    I suggest you read the interview with Andrew Morton at kerneltrap and read his comments regarding the ext3 file system and study the kernel source before you spout any more bollocks.

  3. Re:the one where I agree by psavo · · Score: 4, Interesting · on Three-year Anniversary of Kernel Traffic

    Heh, if you want to get spoilers (before monday ;), I personally always read Linux Weekly News every thursday. Especially the kernel pages.
    Also the Kerneltrap has sometimes news on latest kernel developments (like recent O(1)+preempt patch..).

    Speaking of that, they should have full interview with Alan Cox tomorrow..

    uh, uh, don't you know?
    Linux wasn't designed

  6. Where have you been? by MegaFur · · Score: 1 · on More on LoTR Special Effects
    We've already had this argument (i.e. design vs. a messy blob)--well, maybe we haven't had the argument but other people have. Remember this article from earlier today? The people over at kerneltrap.org have already fought this war. Linus says it's just evolution. If you want a better (or just different) desktop (or word processor, etc), go make one.
