Linus & Company, First i would like to congratulate everyone on a great job. We (my ISP www.axess.net) are now running our biggest server on RedHat 5 and the machine has not hiccuped yet. Even my boss who used to be anti-free unix is beginning to embrace Linux. I am very interested in keeping up with the progress of linux. Unfortunately I do not have the time to keep an eye on all of the development progress. It would be nice to have a a newsletter every week or two that gives a brief description of the progress and direction of the kernel development project. I think that myself and other users feel a little out of the loop when it comes to the current state of the kernel. Not only would a newsletter like this keep users better informed it also would drum up support for different projects. If information was included about what needed work and what needed testing I think a greater number of users would be more apt to get involved and help the project. More over a progress report like this might help software vendors get a better grasp on where linux is headed. Some of the vendors i have spoken to consider linux to be a moving target. Perhaps this newsletter could help to demystify where linux is going for software vendors. Thank you very much. N.B. in no way is this negative criticism, I am extremely happy with everything that is going on.
