Agreed. The -aa VM thats Linus released into 2.4.10 (i believe) has a number of problems and caused alot of users (including myself) to move to the -ac branch. Which oddly enough has turned into the more stable of the two tree's. It will be interesting to see what happends with the -ac tree since currently Linus has been adding parts of both VM's into his branch. Linux development is a confusing thing. -jfo On Tue, Oct 30, 2001 at 08:13:35AM -0500, Chris Fuhrman wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > > Howdy, > > In all likelihood, the situation will resolve itself eventually.
