Hey, User Mode Linux was around before this list started. You gotta give credit where it's due! :)
On a serious note, I've been involved with mainframes since 1973. Over that time, I've learned a lot. I've been involved with Linux for about 4-5 years now, and have learned a lot also. (Some people have the misguided idea that I'm some kind of "expert" just because I try to answer people's questions on this list. They don't realize I'm only a half-step ahead of them, if that much.) But, I'm constantly reminded how much more there is to learn about Linux and UNIX (from whence much of the stuff surrounding the kernel originally came), and that I probably never will. There's just not enough hours in a day and days left in my life. Which is why I am very appreciative of the variety of backgrounds that people bring to this mailing list, along with a willingness to share that. If any of us had to figure this out all by ourselves, we would be doomed from the start. So, thanks to all the Linux/UNIX folks for helping me along, and all the VM/mainframe folks for doing the same. It's been an interesting 2 years, and I don't see it getting dull any time soon.

I joined the list to learn about how the mainframe folks view the world of us poor fools who couldn't even run two copies of Linux on the same box at once 8)
