What's involved in setting up a CVS tree?
Can it be done on the same server that hosts a website?
My provider allows me upto 500 MB of storage.
I'm a VMS developer guy and I don't know much about the web.
My provider says they will be mad if I cause too much traffic to their site.
I think distributing Compaq header files unmodified would be a bad thing.
Microsoft paid lots of money to DEC for ripping off lots of VMS internals.
This payoff was a quiet behind the scenes thing.
I think implementing ODS-2 would be a great starting point.
Is anyone looking at modifying the Linux kernel so it behaves like the VMS
kernel?
What about chip architectures? Intel supports 4 rings while VAX and Alpha
support
KESU. Other chips support 2 memory modes KU.
