Someone at OSF offered to come over and upgrade MkLinux on Gene
to DR2 + Linux 2.0.21. Since I know next to nothing about MkLinux
and even less about Gene, I figured I'd ask others before either
accepting or turning down this offer.
I beieve that we allocated $25 for a DR2 CD. My understanding is
that DR2 still uses 1.2.13, and that there are a number of RPMs
that need to be upgraded still to get to Linux 2.0.x from that
baseline.
The reason OSF is willing to do this is that 2.0.21 includes LKM
support, and they want me to port Linux-AFS.
Comments?
