Including Stephen Tweedie's kswap patches?
I believe he was evaluating both systems As Provided. I don't believe
he had any interest in rooting all over the Internet looking for all
the esoteric kernel patches for Linux. This is one of the biggest
complaints many have with Linux -- it's like 386BSD in the early days,
when you had to ftp all over the place to find all the (sometimes
contradictory) patches to make your system "complete".
