- Been waiting patiently for the FAQ to come across, but I still haven't seen
- it. I'd be much obliged if some kind soul could answer me these questions:
-
- 1) Can Linux utilize an ordinary MDA (or Hercules) adaptor? Seems everyone
- is running SVGA adaptors (with dot clocking problems :-).
-
- 2) What IPC facilities (apart from sockets, which I assume Linux has because
- TCP/IP is up and running) are supported? Shared memory, semaphores, named
- pipes?
-
- 3) What (if any) restrictions are there placed on Linux if it is used in
- a commercial environment?
-
- Eagerly awaiting your replies :-)
