Linux is not based on the SYSV source tree -- if it were, you would be paying a lot of money. I think Linux tries, rather, to take nice features from both BSD and SYSV, and provide a fairly POSIX-complient implementation (for what POSIX is worth). I would rather say that Linux is "Linux-based" rather than "SYSV-based" :-) Geoff. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6 iQBVAgUBLp0Nb8mtR07KMR7ZAQFvWwIAnU419LIJrPxDGeNSppjGe6vq+LKMH6sI p8pg3DdCSVv3u/v0PUH3vbGuloJ6ua9bpV5CxKsKaupnGLbPMJ6MoQ== =+zQy -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Geoff Rehmet, Computer Science Department, Rhodes University, South Africa FreeBSD core team: csgr@freebsd.org | ____ _ o /\ csgr@cs.ru.ac.za, geoff@neptune.ru.ac.za |___ _-\_<, / /\/\ finger rehmet@cs.ru.ac.za for PGP public key | (*)/'(*) /\/ / \ \
