Linux: The 0.02 and 0.03 Releases
,----[ Quote ]
| While wrong about Linux being a short-lived project, Linus was certainly
| right about it being fun to hack on, as evidenced by the ever growing
| community of Linux kernel hackers that grew around Linux. A community that
| continues to grow and evolve to this day.

Are Linus Torvalds, IBM, AMD, others at odds over pushing hardware drivers out
of Linux?

| Far be me the one to summarize here. The issues seem a bit beyond my
| technical capabilities (OK, a lot!). But if device drivers can successfully
| move into virtualization hypervisors, does it not call into question the
| relevance of operating systems overall (as opposed to the relevance of
| hypervisors)? And regarding the supposed “irrelevance” of hypervisors, tell
| that to Jeff Bezos and the crew at Amazon who run that company’s Elastic
| Computing Cloud (built on XEN virtualization, as I understand it).
