May I ask where you got that idea, David?

Here's a snippet from the whois record for cobaltnet.com:

<snip>
Registrant:
Cobalt Networks, Inc. (COBALTNET-DOM)
   440 Clyde Ave. Building B

In fact, cobaltnet.com was their first domain, before they spent the
money to buy cobalt.com.

How short our memories are.

And, oh... look at the username...

Tim Hockin is probably one of the most knowledgeable software people at
Cobalt.

He probably did the original kernels.

This is probably true, though.  Sun/Cobalt doesn't support stuff unless
its on their official distribution pages.
