Ask Moshe Bar about [your choice here]

Posted by Roblimo on Monday June 3, 2002 @04:00AM from the rennaisance-men-of-the-computer-age dept.

Moshe Bar is (pick one) 1. A Linux kernel developer; 2. A motorcycle enthusiast; 3. The primary openMosix maintainer; 4. A respected Linux device driver writer; 5. Author of several books and many articles about Linux; 6. Newly married. 7. A Talmudic scholar; 8. All of the above. The correct answer is 8, and since in addition to (or perhaps because of) all this Moshe is a popular guy, this interview is here by reader request. (Yes, we take interview requests; send them to robin@roblimo.com.) Ask Moshe whatever you wish, one question per post. We'll send him 10 of the highest moderated questions and post his answers as soon as he gets them back to us.

You're logic isn't flawed, but your assumption is. A fire may not be actively maintained, but it can be allowed to burn(and must be since one is not allowed to extinguish it). It would thus be prohibited to add a log to a fire, and consequently to acitvely maintain a running system. But cronjobs, etc., ought not to be a problem.

You might get some help by starting at kernelnewbies.org and the related IRC channel.
It's made for people just like you. *nod*
