Who's the Linux guy? I don't remember his name, let me go see if I can find it. (Waiting, waiting, waiting for the WWW). I *believe* his name is Steve Byrne, but I'm not sure. I know he's doing alot of the Java Linux work. Yep, I just found it that he posted from Sun originally, but he gets his replies sent to the GNU site.
