Kernel Evolution
,----[ Quote ]
| "To quote you a number of years ago: 'Linux is evolution, not intelligent
| design'," noted Greg KH, quoting Linux creator Linus Torvalds. Linus expanded
| on the statement, "evolution often does odd (and 'suboptimal') things exactly
| because it does incremental changes that DO NOT BREAK at any point." He
| continued, "in other words, exactly *because* evolution
| requires 'bisectability' (any non-viable point in between is a dead end by
| definition) and does things incrementally, it doesn't do big flips."

| LSB we are now able to provide our product as a single binary package per
| platform, and not per distribution. This alone has dramatically reduced our
