... actually I meant that in the sense that there are
more Linux laptops than Linux mainframes ... though
I'm sure some vendors would gladly change that
particular dynamic! :)

I seem to recall mentioning that to Linus way back
when I did the initial version of hotplug. As you

getting past just "five nines" into _really_ high
system availability ...
