tlug: 1992 Linus/Andy Tanenbaum flame fest

[Craig Oda <craig@example.com>]

Hi,
an early 1992 discussion between Linus, primary author of 
Linux, and Andy Tanenbaum, primary author of Minix, is 
archived at 
http://www.twics.com/~craig/linux/tech/linux-mono-micro.html

The file is 220K, but it is a good, humorous read.  The major
issue is monolithic kernel or microkernel.  But there are some
choice thoughts like, "Re 2: your job is being a professor and 
researcher: That's one hell of a good excuse for some of the 
brain-damages of minix. I can only hope (and
assume) that Amoeba doesn't suck like minix does."  <commented
by Linus>. 

The file is pretty large (remember it is 220K), but if you
have a fast feed or patience, you might want to give it a read.

This file was originally sent to me by an old UNIX/Linux hacker
friend of mine, James Ellison, s'Cruzing in the outskirts of
silicon valley. 


Regards,
Craig
