hmm well .... it doesn't look like a clean solution to me ... plus how will I run dosemu on my alpha ... of course I can scratch my ear with a 10 foot pole using a radio controlled servo motors ... but I prefer to do it with my hand ...
SysRq is not for normal users ... it's actually quite dangerous for normal users ... I can't see how I could "push" linux when something like this would happen ... and stuf flike this DOES happen exactly at the time you are showing off how linux can not freeze up .. and how simple it is to use
