Everyone has different needs, so the easiest way to make the such a module useful is by providing everything without exception. All in one distro, which is easier to maintain for the packagers. It is often unclear which smart behavior a CORE function has. For instance, which function is compiled in for the setuid(). When you are really into high quality OS programming, you have to know. -- greetz, MarkOv ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Overmeer MSc MARKOV Solutions Mark@Overmeer.net solutions@overmeer.net http://Mark.Overmeer.net http://solutions.overmeer.netThread Previous | Thread Next
