Hey Orly,
Thank you for that short lecture on Linux threads -- I should do my own
research as well.
But I think there's more than one drawback in making threads implemented
as processes. How about context switching in more-than-one-processor
machines? Does Linux limit all Linux-threads in one processor?
#wise, and that the threads-as-processes model is elegant in its own right
#so its "ok" to break 1003.1c in this one regard.

Yes, I've seen a few write-ups about Linus' view on POSIX. But I find it
ironic that he's having the same attitude as Microsoft when it comes to
following standards -- "we can break the standards since we have lots of
users, and developers to back us up"
stay cool.

#unix, i dont see how its a disadvantage, everyoen is coding for linux
