Are you offering full Unix (or POSIX, or some othe full featured
system) semantics on that system?  One of the things I am proud of is
that I can pretty much fill a nice pipe, and retain all of the
semantics of a full system.


Have I missed something here?  When has Linux passed SPEC 1170 or
any other conformance specification suite?  Be very carefull when you
state "offering full Unix or POSIX semantics".  Unix means passing a very
specific set of conformance tests!
