You cheeky little arse!  I've been on this list for bloody years, done
given of the longest talks ever witnessed at a GLLUG and somebody
accuses me of spreading FUD about /Linux/, of all things.

cannot give you now and probably will not be able to give you for some
years to come.  Commercial Unix has them now.
