His point and direction (or lack thereof) are easy to see, and consistent. Linux has been a war of attrition
with an interesting rat's maze model of human intereaction -- always interesting to see new mice traverse the
maze (only there's no cheese at the end of this maze -- just the smell of cheese -- the cheese is on Linus'
desk outside the maze, and all the mice inside the maze are madly looking for it, and being driven
quite mad). :-)

Cheers,

Jeff

Greg,

Linus is not always correct, sometimes his point of view is hard to see.
My shoulders got in the way most of the time; however, Linus is
consistant. Well until he changes his mind.

Crack ?? Get some plumber's putty to smooth over the gap.

Is there a collection point for Linus' decrees?

The LSB (http://www.linuxbase.org/) seems to be mostly involved with
how a distro is laid out, and not much to do with the kernel.


Okay, Linus decreed... oh yeah.

Exactly what is wrong with the method anyway?

You on Crack?

And no... that is not a decree in the traditional sense. It is more like
me saying:
"I decree that Linus Torvalds is the lead maintainer of the
Linux Kernel"

Make TONS-O-SENSE to state the obvious. IOW the statement was all meant
to say *DO IT THIS WAY AND NO OTHER* as nobody else honors any other
method.
