Mind you, if someone does follow the advice in this article on
Linuxandmain, then Uncle Fester has got a lot to worry about.
I'm relieved to see someone else whose fists get itchy when some patronising idiot tells you to 'code it yourself ' (if the person could code it themself, they wouldn't be asking for the feature) or 'just use an emulator/dual-boot system'.
What would be nice instead of this dual-boot/emulation rubbish, though, is a system which allowed you to run 2 or moreOSes concurrently in the same machine, one on each processor, that you could switch between and even copy stuff from one OS screen to another. The PC bridgeboard in the A2000 did this. Heady days, heady days.
