Dear John,

I dont know the meaning of the word "shaft" - but reading your reply to
mr 
Jensen's announcement - "embarrassement ... courtesy of Mark Jensen" -
John, 
Mr Jensen has never made announcments to "embarrace you or PetaLogix".
In 
the matter of fact in his previous post to this list he did give all the

credit possible to PetaLogix, confirming PetaLogix being Tier-1 partner
to 
Xilinx etc, what can you expect more? If the decision was made not to
pay 
PetaLogix up-front gazillion bucks for linux 2.6 support, then this is
an 
decision you just have to honor, no matter how bitter it may be to you.
I'm 
sure PetaLogix was concidered as potential partner in this regard and
not 
left out from the discussion. Decisions have to be made. And not always
are 
all parties equally happy.

Mr Jensen did give release dates for v4-ppc-linux 2.6 and mb-uclinux
2.6, in 
turn it would be nice to see release dates from PetaLogix in regard to
the 
promised (uc)linux build environment for ppc and microblaze. When will
it be 
released?

folks
