Re: Information for the Reader's Digest

[Nick Hill <nikhilwiz@xxxxxxxxx>]

One guy I clearly adore:

out of the CREDITS file...

N: Krishna Balasubramanian
E: balasub@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
D: Wrote SYS V IPC (part of standard kernel since 0.99.10)

I know SYSV IPC is dirty in the kernel, but still... I _simply_ gotta
love IPC. eesh ownz j00!

And, btw, talking about the "Linux OS", IMHO, there's lot more than just
the kernel there. Due credit must be given to the rest of the system
too. Now don't lead me onto another [GNU/]Linux battle, but i keep
noticing these things around the kernel, without which I couldn't have
done much. ;P

Nikhil.
