What a PPC linux kernel hacker thinks about the Articia : Comment 36 of 68 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Don Cox on 15-Jun-2004 11:01 GMT | In reply to Comment 17 (Olegil): "And had MAI still done any kernel work we might have HAD a shot at getting into Debian (see earlier in the same thread, where Ben and friends list things that are required to get in. Basically we need a working 2.6 kernel, which I do not have)."
It's very hard to understand what MAI are up to. What OS did they expect to be running on their chip? Surely not AmigaOS. Linux or BSD are the only likely candidates. So why did they not hire a full time Linux expert? |
