You can grab a copy here or at one of Red Hat's various mirrors. Though the version number listed in the release notes is 8.0.95, inside sources say it's based on Red Hat 9 plus some updates."

    I don't think it will. You know, AMD64 technology is only 64 bits, whereas Commondore 64 is 64K bytes, which according to my calculations is 524288 bits. Keep your C64 in a closet for a while longer...

    So you mean to tell me that Linux is available on a 64 bit architecture before Windows?! Does Steve "Mr. Innovation" Balmer know about this?

    We all know this is a hoax. It's not possible for open source software to "innovate"...

    the OS kernel would need to know how to best schedule and allocate processes to [limit] CPUs from accessing other CPUs' memories


    And this technology must be Unix proprietary technology owned by SCO, because, god knows, no one else could come up with ccNUMA...
