Ok. understood regarding documentation. Can I rely on you (and perhaps Florian) to get me up to speed on the state of things when I get back on the 8th? i.e. "just ask here" ...? I really appreciate all the efforts you and Florian and others have put into pressing these issues with the kernel developers and helping others here to test. I've tried a number of times since 2.6 came out to participate in testing the pre-empt stuff, but mostly on my own time at home. Often I just didn't have time to follow through as I would have very much liked to be able. Now I'm actually _tasked_ with working on this stuff for work, so I think I can justifiably commit significant hours to it. -- Eric Dantan Rzewnicki | Systems Administrator Technical Operations Division | Radio Free Asia 2025 M Street, NW | Washington, DC 20036 | 202-530-4900 CONFIDENTIAL COMMUNICATION This e-mail message is intended only for the use of the addressee and may contain information that is privileged and confidential.
