The other obvious reason that SCO wants UDI to succeed is that Linux has tonnes of drivers and SCO does not, and SCO wants to invent some plausible way of leeching off the Linux drivers. Of course, I am just being argumentative, because I actually support UDI, because it will let me install Solaris on more hardware, and it will help UNIX in general (even if not specifically Linux). - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||
