I take it then that you never use a hard drive in any of your systems on the grounds that it contains non-open source firmware which may affect the security of your system? ;) Tell me, what do you use to store all those Linux applications on?
Hmm, I wonder if you drive a car, travel by train or by plane...? Do you trust the firmware involved there? _____ |_____| ------------------------------------------------- ---+---+- | | Russell King rmk@arm.linux.org.uk --- --- | | | | http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/personal/aboutme.html / / | | +-+-+ --- -+- / | THE developer of ARM Linux |+| /|\ / | | | --- | +-+-+ ------------------------------------------------- /\\\ | - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
