| |
I took advantage of IBM's public mainframe system running Linux and compiled up a copy of BitKeeper on it. Didn't have to change a single line, just worked, thanks to gcc -Wall and friends.
This isn't a BK thing, it's a Linux thing. It's amazingly cool to me that Linux runs on stuff as small as all sorts of embedded devices, up to tiny PC's like a netwinder, all the way up to mainframes.
I'd really like to see the IBM guys let the walls between the linux instances down a bit. If I could mmap the other linux instances memory, that's a kickass system.
Anyway, kudos to the people who did the Linux/390 stuff, we'll include it in our list of supported platforms next release. -- --- Larry McVoy lm at bitmover.com http://www.bitmover.com/lm - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
