Re: [coLinux-devel] colinux.h

Hello Dan,

  First up - I don't know why my message took 2.5 days to get through
to the list ... seems that the headers show it getting bogged down at
sourceforge someplace.

  I saw that you started the archives and responded to the forum
comments between when I sent the message and when it arrived.

Very powerful stuff ... to be able to avoid booting over to Linux would
be a real boon for the cluster communities.  CHAOS is GPL, and binary
ISOs are available from the web site;

  http://itsecurity.mq.edu.au/chaos/


If we can get your project running with CHAOS, we would make an ISO
image for it and advertise it the respective communities. 

Note, too, to one of the forum comments, CHAOS runs FreeSWAN for
all of its cluster communications.  So if we get it working, there will be
demonstrable proof the ipsec runs neatly over this architecture also.

I don't have a preference ... I haven't worked with either (and I really
should).

Ok .. thanks.

Can't wait to test it ... there's a heck of a lot of compiling work to
do before I can get up to a testable image.

 
Thanks for your help .. and rock-on with this project (very cool).
