    It is.

    The limit is probably hard cored


    In a DYNAMIC LINK LIBRARY. IF its modular, then you simply have to change parts of it. Replace it. A lot of this has already been done.

    And since XP Lite can't detect whether a program will actually become a kernel of its own...

    Take for example, running cygwin. Its one program, but in reality its a full scale kernel.

      I don't get this Linux vs. MS argument . I am a dual-booter . Being a Comp. Sci. student , I use linux for my programming , and windows for my games/surfing (damn winmodem (getting a real modem soon)) . Linux is better for the programmer , and WIn for the gamer , as I see it . And if you don't like a certain system , don't use , just don't rant about it . I like both . And I'm soon palnning to upgrade to the 2.6 series kernel .

      But you have to admit , there are quite a few very cool OS projects which are simply unavailable in Win . . . . . . like this one I found "http://www.erikyyy.de/tempest/" - allows you to transmit SW AM radio using your monitor's CRT . Fantastic for listening to mp3s anywhere you have the reciever .

        aneeshm.

        zealots don't listen to the other side, and refuse on principle to recgonize and utilize the benefits of the other system when given the opportunity.

        linmodem doesn't work? hmm... personally, i say you should move to 2.6 now. it beats 2.4 hands down.

          This appears to be a guess.

          Cygwin is not a kernel.

            Anyone have their system trashed by SP2 yet?

            I work with one guy who has. After the application of the SP, took the 3.1 Ghz machine 35 minutes to boot, and then did not have a start menu, task bar, desktop items, or anything else to try and launch any program with.

              It emulates running one.

                Does 2.6 have support for those old 56k modems (HSF/HCF) by Rockwell/Conexant (internal) ?

                  I would install Bochs (Open Source VMWare) and the test out new installs inside of it.

                        Explorer.exe has caused an error in KERNEL32.DLL
                        Explorer.exe will now close.

                          I never got Tempest to work properly with mp3s, but I did use it once to listen to Für Elise. It was pretty cool, true.

                            IIRC, it's a thunking layer, not an emulator.
