Hmmm ... In my opinion, you are going to be flamed a lot ...
- With a 64 bit O/S like linux/Alpha you can virtually map all the
silicium of the universe.
- Linux/Alpha has a 64 bit time_t that allows to not reboot for about 30
times the elapsed time from the BIG BANG.
The above text is a joke. Obviously, I know advantages of 64 bit
architecture and O/S (es).
A journalist have to write papers. It is his job. Probably he did not
have informations about Linux and NetBSD or is a bad journalist.
But you, who subscribed to linux lists, receive informations.
You're unforgivable!!!
