Since then Linux has been being developed by kernel hackers around the world (well at least in Europe and the States, I'm not sure where else) via Internet. Most of the code called Linux is actually GNU software outside the kernel. The basic idea is the same -- it's being developed by people whereever they may be. The point here is that there never has been a more open and more dynamic development project. If you don't like the way something is being done, then all you have to do is get in there and code. (It helps if you take a moment now and then to let people know what you are up to. :) -- Sphere. Find a Linux/GNU Group for you: http://www.tiac.net/users/williams/lugnuts/ Buy Free UNIX!
