thats not the kernel ... it's everything included. Of course for them the
X server is part of the kernel too.
if you could the lines of source code on RedHat 5.0's official source code
CD, it's 300+ MB compressed source code, which amounts to some ~50 million
lines of code. (very rough estimate). This does not include the contrib
directory ... Now this is what should be compared to NT's published
figures.
so there is nothing to be ashamed of, Linux kernel's 1.5+ million lines of
code is just a nicely compact and much more manageable piece of code than
NT's kernel ...
