Is SCO's UnixWare 7 (ex Gemini) then stillborn ?

I'm not sure ... But I do know that if SCO had been more reasonable with their pricing years ago, they could well have become the defacto standard on x86, and perhaps there might not even be a Linux or a FreeBSD ... It all gets back to the fact that we have commodity priced hardware in the market place, what people really seem to like about Linux is that it gives you a commodity-priced OS, as well as all th other benefits ...

Will Linux ever have kernel threads or lightweight processes?

From what I have seen in Linuxland, if it's something people really want, then chances are that it will be developed - although there's never any guarantee about that. You'll probably find out more about that in one of the developer groups on usenet. -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
