OK. Im picturing Valdis' beard in a top-down E-type
It's a classy set of wheels he did send a picture many years ago on kernel newbies irc but I
cannot locate this in a hurry. Maybe Valdis if he still has the pic could share ? And if you meet
him in real life someday ask him about the hole in his back ? I am not kidding he went through
some very serious pain due to a *bug* sadly not a kernel bug which he would have simply squashed
effortlessly but something called a 'flesh-eating bug' . Anyways...
I was just perusing this
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/changes.html
it speaks to minimum versions of everything
Many thanks for sharing.
Its good to next thru a bit, youll find things you didnt know.
I already did :D
I dont need a PGP, but I know where to look for info now.
Thanks again, Aruna
