7. From the technical point of view, how would you rate the Linux 2.4 kernel compared to BSD's?
Matt Dillon: I don't know enough about recent linux kernels to be able to rate them, nor would it be P.C. I do follow the VM work being done in Linux and in particular Rik van Riel's work. I think Linux is going through a somewhat painful transition as it moves away from a Wild-West/Darwinist development methodology into something a bit more thoughtful. I will admit to wanting to take a clue-bat to some of the people arguing against Rik's VM work who simply do not understand the difference between optimizing a few nanoseconds out of a routine that is rarely called verses spending a few extra cpu cycles to choose the best pages to recycle in order to avoid disk I/O that would cost tens of millions of cpu cycles later on. It is an attitude I had when I was maybe 16 years old... that every clock cycle matters no matter how its spent. Bull!
sinon par rapport a ton post, je pense que le meilleur moyen d'encourrager quelquechose, c'est d'etre realiste et pragmatique a son egard, et de ne ne jamais s'eloigner des faits et de la realite.
