  30.     Well, I don't mean to rub it in, but I think most of the Linux
  31. users get excited over any current enhancements they can have to their
  32. kernel.  So, it is quite often that they update to the latest kernel
  33. available for a more fancy OS.  Of course, if there are file servers
  34. running Linux, the administrator would be more considerate in putting
  35. in an experimental kernel, by waiting to see if it is stable enough.
  36.  
  37. That is also why Linux got evolved so quickly, people love to test out
  38. their new toy! :)
  39.  
  40. Anyhow, keep us updated of the new releases of Executor for
  41. compatibility above Linux 1.1.61.
  42.  
  43. thanks,
  44. Bruce
