This is noise guys, skip it.... I will have appreciate that you apology to me, not to Alan. For you concern, I love black humor, I do make nonsense most of the time (but I hope to learn from my mistakes) and yes I work for SUN. Regarding the 2.5 kernel being available, I don't honestly know but I will suggest you stay with 2.4 for a while, you still have some stuff to learn.

Its a 2.5 change being discussed. Since the kernel is a controlled > environment its not a big deal, and userspace is all pre-empted. Oh I've missed the context that it was just about kernel space - oops sorry Anyway where is the wishlist for 2.5 publically available ? -- There are three types of people in the world: those who can count, and those who can't.
