thanks for the update - I think. Would be better to hear that it was working great and I should switch to it now. Not having a decent journaled FS is a major downside to Linux in my opinion. Who wants to put a lot of disk on a server and then have it take 3 weeks (ok a slight exaggeration) to fsck. Not me.
Actually I do have a couple of servers with a small amount of disk on them (16GB each as I recall) and the main problem is how slow NFS is.
still kernal level appletalk support is nice. Is all swings and roundabouts.
I visted the web site you mentioned. At the bottom of the page it says:
--quote The other ``ye,'' the plural of thou, has a separate, less exotic etymology. The word ``you'' is not a misreading of ``thou.'' --end quote
However, you are right, thee and thou were spelt with thorns in the past - i stand corrected on that point. Guess it must just be me who didn't detect the voiced nature of the "th"s in those words.
I am well aware that the english alphabet has changed much over time, but it is a point worth making.
OK, there is only so many lies one can see in one post before one has to reply.
In Elizabethan english, there was both a familiar and a formal version of the second person singular pronoun. The familar version was "thou" or "thee" Thou as the subject of a sentence: "thou hast a chicken on thy head", and thee as the object: "I despise thee." Neither of these words were every written with a thorn.
Ye is a formal variation of the plural "You" as in "Hear Ye! Hear Ye!"
The Ye of "Ye Olde Shoppe" is however a transliteration error - it is pronounced "the".

Compaq bought Digital in January 1998 - closer to a couple of years ago than a few months. You must be getting old.

Not on my desktop sadly, but the latest UNIX server we bought here has 2GB of memory and that didn't cause too much excitement.
That kind of memory is pretty common place - and Linux needs to support it.
Has anyone played with SGI's journaled file system for Linux? I am glad to see this major shortcoming being looked at.
this is *way* off topic, but here goes.
