The brand spanking new Linux partition.  I hope to continue on with
framebuffer development on there.  My goal is digital mapping all on the
console with no need for a GUI.  I am a commandline freak and gosh darn
proud of it!

Why?  Don't they already have a 32-bit DOS version?  Doesn't OS/2 have a
working Maximus version?  I think we're behind Linuxie speaking.  That's
what needs to be dealt with first as far as I am concerned.  As for
portability there are other, and perhaps even better, ways to deal with
compatibility issues.

Exactly!  I say we get on with it.

 MK>> Yep.  That and many other issues.  I want a Linuxed Maximus.

 BS> It would be nice if it is..

It could be but I honestly believe we need a different approach to this issue.

Life is good,
