I remember similar things being discussed on linux-kernel in other lights, and there are many people who would never let this happen:). Most peoples' idea was to have a separate directory for these attributes, and keep filenames the same.

Eh? What do you even mean? You dont have to open the file now to get at attributes. Type "man 2 stat". That's how it's done.
According to the article, the 49G is 10 to 100 times as fast as the 48G because all the code has been rewritten. They also noted a much improved symbolic math library.
The LGPL might, I'm not sure, but the kernel is under the GPL.

The reason why RedHat's install is "easy" is because it auto-detects your hardware, and you don't have to worry about what a "disk set" is.
If you have a fairly modern PC, the beauty of RedHat is that you DONT have to know what kind of hardware you have. It autodetected my Video Card, mouse, sound card, and ethernet card.
Well, I meant that the availability of MOSIX provides a LOT of the architecture needed for high availability clusters. MOSIX provides a framework to build HA on.
I disagree. While its purpose is not HA, it still lets two machines be seen as one. If you add automatic failure-detection to MOSIX, you have HA+speed. You'd only need to make sure state was mirrored across the cluster.
Not to start distro wars, but slackware doesnt seem to put much emphasis on ease of administration compared to other Linuxes. If you're going to compare, look at SuSE or RedHat or Debian (possibly PHT, but I know nothing about that distro)
Perhaps look at their patent. Dosemu has very good support from the 386 architecture. But if you really start to look into the Intel architecture, virtualizing a 32bit i386 machine is EXTREMELY difficult, and they're most likely patenting more specific techniques....
Again, VMWare is NOT an x86 emulator. A Virtual Machine program is many orders of magnitude harder to create than a mere emulator. If I have seen a single piece of software where a patent should be supported, this is it.
Bochs is a completely different animal than VMWare. As far as I know, VMWare is the only product of its' kind since IBM's VM. I looked into doing something like this awhile ago, and it certainly does not look easy.
I am just curious to know how they supported non-priveleged instructions like manipulating/reading the flags register, which is needed for virtualization.

Actually, I doubt that. Scalability is not always linear.... I highly doubt the scalability technology currently exists to acheive that high speeds with any amount of processors (Yes, at a certain point adding processors can SLOW things with lock contention etc..)

It supports async I/O (BSD-style), but I don't know of any apps that support it yet so don't hold your breath.

For one, Linux 2.2 w/ glibc 2.1 DOES support async I/O (redhat 6.0 and caldera 2.2 have it, the new suse might).

Possibly they're using Chilisoft's ASP clone?
Umm.. they're using NT? Last I checked MS wanted to move to NT but gave up for Solaris?? Am I wrong here??
No. We're a group of people who want solid, stable software, no matter who makes it. At least large numbers of "us" are.

One nitpick... with standard Linux devices you can access 2G /blocks/, which comes out to 1TB.
I disagree. While its purpose is not HA, it still lets two machines be seen as one. If you add automatic failure-detection to MOSIX, you have HA+speed. You'd only need to make sure state was mirrored across the cluster.
I think that's the SBLive driver.... I've heard of lots of problems with it coredumping when not run under root.
I can't believe that he wouldn't be even more productive in emacs though... :)

I haven't seen a "real" UNIX shop that laughs people out for using emacs... I rarely have seen one where many people use vi....
Why fix it? The GNU refers to glibc, as Linux is only a KERNEL. It will not say "gnu" if you use libc5 or libc4, or write your own for example.
Exactly. It is speech. But it's not POLITICAL speech, so it has less protection than other forms of speech.
That's autoconf, not egcs.
SP5 IS out. And I was compacting my 96MB linux-kernel folder with kmail.
