If you feel uncomfortable with that bet, then tell me when you think there are even odds of it being released, and I will figure out which side of the bet I want to be on. :-) Cheers, Ben "...

Everyone quits bitching about all the "coporate lead" development in the 2.5 kernel and everyone stops developing new features for 2.4 then forward porting for 2.5... and getting really bad instability/no workey... Then, and only then, will I take you on that bet... If everyone were to do that before say... September... I'd betya on March, MAYBE February... BTW, that is what I meant about "Other" issues... ;) But, I'd rather do a "gentleman's bet", I am cheap. `greg, curley95@attbi.com -- REMEMBER ED CURRY!!!`

If you want Linux to run on that really cool hardware, you need people associated with that hardware in a prominent role. Period. Unless you have an infinite supply of partially employed hackers with serious hardware budgets, hacking that kind of platform is going to cost someone money. That's life. Cheers, Ben "...
