There's long been a generally-accepted designated successor for Linus (currently Andrew Morton as has already been noted but it was once Alan Cox). For a long time I've wanted Linus T to be more formal about this but having read LKML on and off for nearly 20 years I've concluded he thinks about DR, backups and business continuity a lot less than I do. I suppose he has a kernel to develop or something :) Cheers, Rob -- Email: rob...@timetraveller.org Linux counter ID #16440 IRC: Solver (OFTC & Freenode) Web: http://www.pracops.com Director, Software in the Public Interest (http://spi-inc.org/) Information behaves like a gas _______________________________________________ Link mailing list Link@mailman.anu.edu.au http://mailman.anu.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/link
