”those security people are fucking morons”

Yes, they are, but you're coming back now...

as that's all you have :-(. *

I'm starting the usual merge window activity now,

said Linus Torvalds to ZDnet.
But according to ZDnet it's not going to be kernel development as usual.

We did talk about the fact that now Greg Kroah-Hartman has write rights to my kernel tree, and if will be easier to just share the load if we want to, and maybe we'll add another maintainer after further discussion.

During his break he wanted to

take time off and get some assistance on how to understand people's emotions and respond appropriately.

I expect it to be a continuing process, but for now I have an email filter in place that might be expanded upon or modified as needed or as I come up with more esoteric swearing (like perkeleen vittupää?).

And I have been talking weekly with a professional, although again right now my travel is messing with that schedule.

Good.

Summary: small poll for my new operating system

Hello everybody out there using minix -

I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and
professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones.  This has been brewing since april, and is starting to get ready.  I'd like any feedback on things people like/dislike in minix, as my OS resembles it somewhat (same physical layout of the file-system (due to practical reasons)
among other things). 

I've currently ported bash(1.08) and gcc(1.40), and things seem to work.
This implies that I'll get something practical within a few months, and
I'd like to know what features most people would want.  Any suggestions
are welcome, but I won't promise I'll implement them :-)

Linus (torv...@kruuna.helsinki.fi)

PS.  Yes - it's free of any minix code, and it has a multi-threaded fs.
It is NOT protable (uses 386 task switching etc), and it probably never will support anything other than AT-harddisks, as that's all I have :-(. 

You will tell now Linus, what you are, but did not tell what kind of clever boy you were there. Tell, and tell something about the reasons of your change.

I would like the know, because i have seen something same many times.
