That 1.2.13 was very stable, my glacial.tmr.com DNS server ran from shortly after 1.2.13 came out (I had 1-2 patches applied) until Dec 30 1999 when I shut it down because of suspected Y2k issues. It was called glacial because it was on a 12MB 386sx-16, not because it was so cool;-)
Alan's machine got much more use than mine, but it probably had a lot more fixes. -- bill davidsen <davidsen@tmr.com> CTO, TMR Associates, Inc Doing interesting things with little computers since 1979. - 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/
