Or as Christoph Hellwig (who used to work for Caldera) apparently once wrote 
on the LKML:

	The kernel internals are so different that you'd need a big glue layer to
	actually make it work and you can guess how that would be ripped
	apart in a usual lkml review

I'd love a reference to the original email that this is from, Google doesn't 
find it in the LKML archives.  My reference for it is from:

	http://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit/pulpit20030529.html

but, unfortunately, he doesn't give a reference to it or to the email where he 
says Linus found it.
