It did indeed; Linux existed with *only* MINIX filesystem support for
quite some time.
Now it supports everything from FAT12 to ZFS. ;) (and to some extent FILES-11)
Btw, don't try to install it to FAT32. It's to exactly fond of that.

I believe so, If I remember correctly he didn't intend for anyone to care or take it seriously.
And here we are LOL.

Hello!
I thought it started as a learning experience and response from
working with that kludge called Minnix with regards to Torvalds.
Especially since the first file system that the early kernels worked
with/ran on was indeed Minnix.

Well it worked for about 3 logons. It's borked again.
Too bad nobody is maintaining the Linux DECNET packages anymore.
Yeah the module doesn't build on newer kernels, iirc. I tried. ;)
Actually, it does, but procfs and sysfs or whatever have changed too much for it to be configured.
Which is one of my main gripes with Linux. The whole kernel development is just a mess. They constantly design really bad solutions and implement them. Then they realize they suck, and they change the kernel interfaces to fix things. But that leaves lots of broken code around in different places.
It's horrifically fractured, too. So many different distributions try to do things their own way and there's so much conflicting "standardisation" linux DEFINITELY inherited that from UNIX. ;)

Just don't try using llogin towards an RSX host... There are bugs in the
lat implementation as well. It causes connections to be dropped if
connecting to RSX (for example). And when they are dropped, some bug in
the RSX LAT code is triggered, causing the buffers to be lost forever,
meaning you run out of memory after a while if you use the Linux LAT
package towards RSX.
I've seen this happen sporadically talking to RSTS/E and VMS systems
as well...if it's the same bug, it's not RSX-specific. When it happens
to me, ALL of my current llogin sessions drop at the same moment.
I didn't know that it happened on other systems as well. I assumed they had written the code testing against VMS, and had it running smooth in that scenario. That the same things happens there was news to me.
We really should write a new lat package for Unix. (If I only had time...)

Will do- you must have a crapload of mail and stuff, this was like my third request :)
I'm not complaining, your administration of the network is admirable.
