: 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".
The kswap patches are included in the kernel source as of 1.3.34, it
would have been earlier, but the developers disagreed over certain
implementational points apparently.
