<div>Greg,</div>
<div>I&#39;d just want to point out there is a difference between &quot;Linux&quot; and &quot;[recent] Linux kernel development&quot;.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>That said, thanks so much for your substantial contributions to ongoing kernel development; that&#39;s important :-) and gratz on beating out Novell and Intel.</div>
