And Bochs, plex86 as well. Can't speak for other distros, since I don't use them. Anyway there are quite a few Debian based distros the most well known (besides Debian itself) being Knoppix, Morphix... gasp, Lindows even. Anyway, until the lawsuit comes, patents aren't really an issue. Believe me IBM probably has a patent on every nook and cranny of an operating system, but unless they decide to go out and sue someone it doesn't matter. Most companies keep a patent portfolio to prevent other companies from suing them (of course the government should change the law to completely do away with software patents). Also if you're an engineer the going wisdom is that you shouldn't go looking for patents either, as willful infringement is a whole different ballgame in the eyes of the law... -- John. --=-2iGmX/7L1//tjidbX/jx Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBAa9/bfY9MuGaNkEERAoX6AJ4j8UZAnOlEJEBNa7F11zu64fbMvgCcCjyz sMRriCJVEig1ZFnsueTNNjA= =+jvV -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-2iGmX/7L1//tjidbX/jx--
