Ask New 2.4 Maintainer Marcelo Tosatti Anything

Posted by timothy on Wednesday November 14, 2001 @05:15AM from the except-the-nude-beaches dept.

Linus keeps hinting (declaring, even) that he's nearly ready to work full-time on the 2.5 development branch of his kernel, and hand the 2.4 kernel off to Marcelo Tosatti. Marcelo's graciously agreeed to answer questions (you might want to read some of his mailing list contributions first), so here's your chance to ask him what he'll do in the famous footsteps of Linus and Alan Cox, and how he got there. Please only put one question per post; we'll pass along the top-rated comments to Marcelo for his answers, and hear back from him shortly.

I looked over some questions, and there are a couple of pretty obvious ones that either aren't their, or hidden due to that pesky moderation.

For instance:
1. The "lousy magazine"-question: Who would you rather be stuck with on a desert island?

2. The "bitter old sysadmin"-question: You are 18, do you punk even know what Multics or VMS is?

3. The "trick"-question: what do you prefer, emacs or vi? (trick question because we all know emacs is superior).
