You obviously didn't google for "linus bastard speech", either.

I Agree. American non sequitur society: we don't make sense, but we do like pizza. Okay, hint: if BSD had "totally derailed" Linux back in 1992, why would we = now=20 be talking about how to virtualize Linux? Anyone? Anyone?

UML or Xen? Wow. It _was_ possible to miss the sarcasm content of the first post. And= =20 here I thought that it wasn't merely dripping with it, but that the sucker = had been thorougly hosed down to the point of immersion, and had extra nail= ed=20 to the side. To answer the explicit questions for the sarcasm-blind: 1) UML development = continues, Xen is a different project that competes with VMWare over in a=20 different niche. 2) Who cares? 3) Linus doesn't use either one, so it wou= ld=20 be tough for him to play favorites even if he was in the habit of playing=20 favorites, which he's not. 4) You missed Adeos and Plex86. I'm going to put away the troll food now.
