The are 25Kg of papers piled on my desk right now. Thanks to you, 25.05Kg now ;) Upon a brief read, The Italian Job, hemm ... paper, is very similar to SOFTRR. Once you change their "server" notion with the per-user allocation I have in mind, it'll come even closer. I really didn't have time to read the MS paper though. The problem is not if it can be done, the problem is how bad ppl wants it. - Davide - 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/
