All you have to do is cite your strict definition, and I'll shut up.

doesn't even _claim_ to be an OS, but merely a DOS) contained a user
interface, applets, and system tools.

That's _exactly_ what we're discussing here. I'm saying your
definition has absolutely no basis in reality. Please quote me
someone who says that the OS equals the kernel and nothing more.

the CPU is doing vastly different things when it runs a PPP
connection vs. reading from a disk. There's a lot to be done in a TCP
stack, which is why with even fast computers, sniffing on an ethernet,
for instance, can drop packets. There's less work to be done on a PPP

It was called Amoeba. Andrew Tannenbaum did it, iirc. You should
find some references to it if you web search, but it was never

8^) I still hear people saying "and change lilo.conf to point at
/mlinuz" even though RH's /sbin/installkernel sets things up so all
you have to do is "make install". It's hard getting used to small,
yet useful, changes like that.

You can do 'make install' to put t
hat's swap for if it's never going to be used? Unfortunately,
though, I just doubled the RAM in my poor old P60 and Emacs no longer
breaks the swap barrier... I haven't managed to get it to top 20 megs
in months. I feel that I'm losing touch

When a document is converted into postscript, all useful information
about it is lost. You have letters placed in arbitrary positions on
the page. You can often reconstruct words, lines, etc, but it's a
guessing game and won't get your original document back.

That's because there are some very stupid people who think that just
because a font is available and looks good on their machine, it will
be available and look good on all others. These people should be
using PDF.
