Hi Russell and everyone, Sorry for late participation on this :( I'm out of my office for biz. trip so it was hard to check my e-mail and will be back to my country this weekend. Anyway, I and my colleagues know what we have to do for Linux world. And as I know, we are preparing some stuff for it so please don't expect the worst :) I should be back on this after discussing with my colleagues. Thanks.
