The Operating System
Linux is forking
- Into different kernel trees
- Do we run 2.2.19?
- Which 2.4.x does work on my architecture
- Do I go for Linus’ tree or for Alan Cox’s tree?
- Do I need the Redhat patches?
- Do I need the SuSE patches?
- Vendors have to take care of it, as e.g. Don showed us
- Into different API’s
- How do I open a large file?
- O_LARGE?
- Transparently
- With glibc 2.1 or glibc 2.2
- Wait a moment – do pthreads work with 2.1?
