(What is SE?). A moronic attempt as using this funny qwerty layout thing. It should read SW (ServerWorks). They must be the Unisys OEM machines. They are based on some crossbar-architecture called CMP that allows logical partioning, etc.. Yup, turns out they are. I have talked to Unisys engineers on last Cebit who said that the NT (now W2k) port required a huge amount of work. Also I noticed that UnixWare^H^H^H^H^HOpenUnix needed work to run on it. Well, I guess NetBSD is a good candidate, it has a nice portable MM system, linux might not be so bad either, but without knowledge of how this works, I am just guessing and probably still talking shit. --cw - 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/
