I mean, its kind of nebulous to just say the "common case"... you gotta realize, most of us work in big companies like HP, IBM, Intel and concepts of support life have real meaning to us. This is a very interestng discussion. Do you have any insights into what the other parts of the kernel are doing wrt to this problem? Chad |
