NewsForge: Redmond Linux: Stripped-down Linux business aims at desktop newbies (Aug 19, 2001, 21:08)
"Our goal, simply put, is the ever-elusive Linux desktop," says
Rick Collette, v.p. of marketing and coder for Redmond Linux, and
founder of the embedded deepLinux project, now merged with Redmond
Linux. "How are we going to reach that goal? We have all the time
in the world, something many other companies don't have. See, we
have no infusion, seed, venture, or other funding, and no one to
answer to for it. I pump what little money I have into keeping the
infrastructure going, and saving here and there so that we can
produce CDs."

and basically see what browser gives the best overall
performance."

Andrea Arcangeli: Linux 2.4.9aa3 (Aug 19, 2001, 06:54)
"Updated to run expand_stack always with the mm write semaphore
acquired to fix the race conditions. Upgrading the semaphore during
map_user_kiobuf was quite painful so I just disallowed to do direct
I/O on a growsdown VMA (you can still do that as far as it doesn't
need to be live extended on the fly)."
