I agree. The way I see it, is that *nothing* should change from the
last 0.0x.plx release to 1.00. That way we have a system that works, with less
chance of new bugs popping in. This also entails (to me anyhow) a standardized
set of libraries, static and shared. Heheh, I think my Linux machine has
crashed less than my $1500 Mach386 package... But then I'm probably easier on
the Linux...

This is actually a very good idea. If the Berkeley CSRG can do it,
why not Linus? I'm perfectly serious when I say this. Of course, Linus may
not feel inclined to devote the effort to writinng the book, but I think it
would have an audience. (I know that I for one found the short history of
Linux he wrote up a while back to be very interesting)
