I've booted Linux in sub-second times using User Mode Linux so there's nothing actually preventing it other than the need to probe hardware in various slow ways, which could be improved.

I'm not sure if they've made it more difficult in a while -- they disabled mounting /system read-write but I was still able to copy the block device to another host, modify it, and copy the modifications back. At one point t

I didn't cite any numbers. However, I do think Linux, VxWorks, and QNX are all significantly more popular than BSD. As phkahler mentioned there are billions of Android devices running Linux, and that's just to start. Chromebooks

I am a Linux desktop user. I use Slackware 14.2 on my current workstation (an Apple MacBookPro11,3 according to "dmidecode) and my first Linux desktop was Slackware 3.3.0 (on a 486DX2/50 Packard Bell). Additionally I used HP-UX

The title is slightly misleading -- Linux is WAY above 2% of computing marketshare, it's really only on the desktop that it lags behind. Linux is running on more computers than almost any other OS. The only competition for most popul

AppFS ( http://appfs.rkeene.org/ ) solves almost all of the problems with "curl | bash" and indeed package managers in general. I'm the author. Feedback desired.

Does eagle still use libtcl.so/.shlib/.dylib/.dll ? Or is it an entirely new implementation. I know at one point you could use libtcl.

My automated build/test server adds a tag (build-pass) to commits that pass the build and another tag (tests-pass) to builds that pass all tests. So, instead of branching from trunk I would branch from tests-pass and that would be guar

Why is that being considered anti-competitive here ? It seems like they are participating in a competitive marketplace by offering to pay and being awarded the coveted spot as an equal participant rather than using their position as the ups

Additionally there is a fork of OpenSSH called PKIXSSH that supports X.509 certificates in addition to keys and OpenSSH certificates. This is useful for using the same credential (certificate) to authenticate using other protocols such as

Mac OS X has had smartcard support for a long time. They started removing it a few "updates" ago, but the support was still there. CACKey specifically added missing bits as Apple removed them. This latest release probably featu

You raised my hopes and dashed them quite expertly, sir. Bravo! Not to get off on a rant here, but it is annoying when developer tools are posted here without a mention that it's not available for an OS developers here may be using. D

See also "GoTTY", also hosted on GitHub.com for a similar project that is not associated with a service (i.e., you must host it yourself). It has write support and there is a separate "gotty-client"

AppFS ( http://appfs.rkeene.org/ ) allows you to do all of those things, except does not involve sandboxing in anyway. Sandboxing is orthogonal to the issue of presenting the files on disk for the application. Something c

AppFS ( http://appfs.rkeene.org ) addresses similar functionality as CVMFS, but with much more support for fancy things, like writing and setsid files, safely. I am looking at porting it to Windows, but it is a low priority.

It likely already does "the right thing" according to POSIX. tmux starts a server and then immediately connects to it a client. The server portion is what's being erroneously killed. Starting a server is a relatively norma

It's been a long time since Solaris worked well on a 32-bit CPU. UltraSPARC replaced SPARC in the 90s, and Solaris on x86 was not a very common thing then. It wasn't until Solaris 10/OpenSolaris (around 2005) that the x86 p

You can do this with Tcl ! I wrote an extension called "pipethread" to make UNIX shell pipelining more natural. It uses threads instead of processes but otherwise operates pretty similarly. Example: set lsOutput [pipethread::p
