Date: Sun, 21 Jan 2001 20:49:05 -0500 From: Paul Barton-Davis Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org >Let me just point out that Victor has his own commercial axe to grind in >his continual bad-mouthing of IRIX, the internals of which he knows >nothing about. 1) do you actually disagree with victor ? 2) victor is not the only person who has expressed this opinion. the most prolific irix critic seems to be larry mcvoy, who certainly claims to know quite a bit about the internals. this discussion has the hallmarks of turning into a personal bash-fest, which is really pointless. what is *not* pointless is a considered discussion about the merits of the IRIX "RT" approach over possible approaches that Linux might take which are dissimilar to the IRIX one. on the other hand, as Victor said, a large part of that discussion ultimately comes down to a design style rather than hard factual or logical reasoning.
