And you’re running Linux…
And you’re interested in Xgl…
And i915 seems like a better idea than i810…
And you’re thinking about messing with the drivers in your kernel…

Don’t. Just trust me on this.

P.S. For those of you that have asked, yes I will have comments on the Writely acquisition.

About

Hi, I'm Stephen O'Grady. I live in Maine, but travel a lot.

I helped found RedMonk in 2002, and I was born and raised a Red Sox fan.

My job is to help companies understand developers better, and to help developers, period. There's more bio stuff here.
