[Gllug] NT Embedded?

[Jim Bailey]

Hi,

I seem to remember that Linux journal ran an article in the Kernel 
internals issue earlier this year? about debugging 2.4 kernel for use in 
vaguely classified environment for the US Navy.  I am sure that one of the 
prerequisites was for NT compatibility the other was that it used the UFS 
file system.  Does this make sense to people out there and am I now likely 
to have a 'mysterious accident for knowing too much. ;-P
