Quote of the week
Guys, a kernel developer who cannot understand that user space is
important should just drop their pretentions of being a kernel
developer, and go play with some toy system like Hurd
instead. There you can say "user space doesn't matter".

Quote of the week Posted May 25, 2006 12:38 UTC (Thu) by Los__D (guest, #15263) [Link] Wouldn't that be MOST of Hurd is userspace?
Quote of the week Posted May 25, 2006 16:59 UTC (Thu) by drosser (guest, #29597) [Link] Perhaps it would be nice, for those of us who aren't machochistic enough to subscribe to the LKML, to provide some context for these quotes. Or perhaps I can get off my lazy ass and start reading the LKML...

LKML newsgroup Posted Jun 3, 2006 19:48 UTC (Sat) by anton (guest, #25547) [Link] gmane.linux.kernel does not appear on my news server, but linux.kernel does.
gmane, the list2news and back server Posted Jun 4, 2006 13:24 UTC (Sun) by Duncan (guest, #6647) [Link] > gmane.linux.kernel does not> appear on my news server
Correct, because gmane is a list2news and back gateway. You subscribe to

I thought Linux was a toy system ;-) Posted May 26, 2006 21:03 UTC (Fri) by thomask (guest, #17985) [Link] ...or perhaps I'm just living in the '90s...
Typical Linus nonsense Posted Jun 3, 2006 17:43 UTC (Sat) by slamb (guest, #1070) [Link] No one said "userspace isn't important". From the context, it looks like they proposed breaking anancient CVS version of glibc (which no one should be using!)...and there's a bootloader argument that works around it, which they want to document. Why must he always attack straw men?
