I don't want to appear to be offensive in regards to this project considering I have no prior knowledge about it other than what I've seen at the web site just now, but it appears that there is a lot more talk than coding occuring at this project. It just appears that everybody has wants but nobody is turning the wants into realities. Maybe I'm wrong (and I hope I am), but it just seems to be a bit vaporous. > [who likes SUN firmware even more than SGI firmware] [I was just using SGI as an example] Matthew Fredrickson - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
