Re: [Skunkworks] Did Linus really reverse engineer the Unix Kernel or did he add more innovative features to it?

Hello @Evans, actually the yawn has been on my side since I began this thread due to the lack of proper engagement of discussion. :-) . I know you are not at code level, so will diffuse this right here but as an active Linux Association in Kenya, do active member coders/developers know why they don't involve themselves at the fundamental layer of the free-code to improve on e.g. bugs or updates in the Linux OS. Case example: Many versions did not take the USB modems initially, did any get involved and wrote code to patch the kernel rather than wait for an update from some external knowledgebase. Rgds.
