No need to buy stock in the kernel development, it will be the user and OEM base (hopefully) that will profit, and the developers will profit as a (slightly more stable) side effect. This thing is probably 1yr away from being a nearly full BSD API and capable kernel, but approx 3mos away from being a usable platform of sorts. (These are only guesses at this point -- it might be a little longer, because such developments are hard to predict.) Imagine if we run into a performance bottleneck -- it could take a month or longer of rework and rewrite. It only takes a few setbacks to end up being a significant delay. -- John | Never try to teach a pig to sing, dyson@iquest.net | it makes one look stupid jdyson@nc.com | and it irritates the pig.
