Hohensee" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7BIT Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org There is no substance what so ever to the rumor that IBM is nearing finalization of a purchase of five year cLIeNUX memberships for all it's employees. cLIeNUX does not have a foreseeable seed capitalization date, and no party to any capitalization negotiations is known to me to be in any way affiliated with IBM or Sun Microsystems. Neither I nor anyone doing cLIeNUX development that I know of is currently working on a distinctly non-unix multimedia end-user operating system kernel based loosely on Linux 1.2.13 and cycluphonics, and there is no effort in progress to port 1.2.13 to osimplay. No cLIeNUX revenues have been diverted to F.I.R.E. or any other stack machine hardware efforts, and Professor Donald E. Knuth has not commented on the Porcine Aviation Society Stack Machine. PASSM is for performance comparisons to MMIX, not for teaching. Rick Hohensee ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/cLIeNUX Funkin up the allegorical court ship bobble
