How does one distinquish between the kernel released by Linus and the kernel released by Alan. Surely, Alan's kernel qualifies as a 'fork' by any definition of 'fork' that I've read. ???
The Alan Cox kernels are just a patch against the Linux Kernel, used for testing etc. It does not really qualify as a fork, and when using one of his kernels, the uname -a will report the kernel version with an -acN tag (N denoting what patchlevel it is). -- Mads Martin Joergensen, http://mmj.dk "Why make things difficult, when it is possible to make them cryptic and totally illogic, with just a little bit more effort." -- A.
