A few months ago, I watched someone boot an early Linux port on a laptop running a software Merced emulator. While the Linux port was only functional enough to run ps, ls, and a few other commands, I thought it ran surprisingly fast for a software emulator. I didn't do any timings, though. -- Darryl Okahata darrylo@sr.hp.com DISCLAIMER: this message is the author's personal opinion and does not constitute the support, opinion, or policy of Hewlett-Packard, or of the little green men that have been following him all day.
