It would be an intersting exercise for someone to spend a few days seeing how many of the bugzilla reports they personally can reproduce. I'd guess "zero". There's a lesson in that. The problem with bugzilla will be that it will be hard to find reports where the reporter will be able to work with you on the fix - we've let them go cold. The most fruitful place to find fixable bugs is linux-kernel. People who report bugs there are sufficiently motivated to have actually sent the email and the bug is still recent, so they probably haven't done the Solaris install yet. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
