And for that reason (and more), if you want to be on the fringe of
SPARC/Linux kernels, you want to grab it from Dave Miller's cvs tree
(see http://vger.samba.org/). The tree stays up to date and is
consistantly updated with the latest SPARC and networking code, due to
Dave's 2 major responsibilities.

Awesome... OLS (http://www.ottawalinuxsymposium.com/) also has some
impressive presentations. I'm looking forward to hearing what some
people presented (like Tridge on the Tivo, etc.). DaveM gave the
keynote at the last OLS... during the Q&A at the end, he mocked me with
an impersonation which is sadly lost due to the recording equipment
failing... oh well... :/
