OS/2 software -> Linux
-
This link describes how unlimited amounts of state-of-the-art high quality software will soon be ready for the Linux platform. http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/esdd/articles/linux_c.html?t=gr,l=805,p=OS2toLinux ... but then again maybe not. Christian Skovdal Andersen Don't mention the war...

LOL... I really love this part: Linux is not as thread safe as other operating systems because threads are a relatively new concept to this operating system. Therefore, some standard libraries are not really thread safe. In addition, threads affect the behaviours of signals. The specific thread that will receive a signal sent to a process is not known. This means that Linux works best with one thread. From that we can define that Linux might be a great OS that runs perfectly good, as long as there are no programs running on it :-D - Anders Money talks, but all mine ever says is "Goodbye!"

Well, your conclusion isn't quite right. There's a difference between a process and a thread, so as long as there are no programs that are MT it doesn't matter how many of them are running on the OS even if the claims they make were true. That said... wha!?!?? Threads are a new concept to Linux? How long has Linux had pthreads? And in any event, pthreads is *NOT* a new concept, so even if this part of the POSIX standard were relatively new on Linux there should still be no problems with the thread safety of the libraries (since the thread-unsafe routines have thread-safe alternatives in POSIX). Sounds like the authors just know very little about the subject. William E. Kempf

Yeah, happnd to me too. Most times when I joke people take it serious and some even get offended. Most times when I am actually serious a lot of people think I am joking... Nish :-)

I got that he was telling a joke, but the joke failed because of the mistake in his logic. :) William E. Kempf
