Putting Linux reliability to the test
This article documents the test results and analysis of the Linux kernel and other core OS components, including everything from libraries and device drivers to file systems and networking, all under some fairly adverse conditions, and over lengthy durations. The IBM Linux Technology Center has just finished this comprehensive testing over a period of more than three months.

Sir,
I can see that you are enthusiastic about having everybody know about related news articles that pop up on popular technology related news sites. However, I think a large portion of people on such lists frequent these sites regularly on their own accord and might be irked by the redundancy.
Please, try to editorialize or add value to the content with something you've written, or at least collect a group of, say five related articles and send it as a digest, to enhance their usefulness (or at least minimize the traffic).
Of course, I could be wrong, and this might be their only window to the technology news world. All of this is my opinion and if it doesn't bother anyone else, I will not bring it up again seeing that for now it seems I am the only one bothered by unnecessary traffic.

Dear Mr. Harish Narayanan,
Thank you for your mail, and if a couple of others also tell me that I have been creating unnecssary traffic, truly, I would be quite embarassed! My only interest is to make people on the list get to know about the current news as early as possible.
Thank you again, would keep you suggestions in mind which I know are well intended.
Regards
Soundara Rajan

I welcome the postings by our journalist friends, as I would dearly miss the contents otherwise. We also ought to focus on the content and substance of the postings rather than on its form or length.
