Talk:Vmlinux

message: I've tried to destub this article a bit, please revert any mistakes. I didn't think it was nescessary to create seperate articles on vmlinuz, bzImage, zImage, etc, so I removed any links like that, perhaps we should redir them here? -- taviso 02:49, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)

message: In all fairness, I think there should be more of an emphasis on the differences between vmlinux and vmlinuz on this page. To me it also seems wrong to redirect vmlinuz to vmlinux seeing as one is compressed and bootable and the other uncompressed and unbootable.
And to answer the question how to make a compressed kernel, "make bzImage" is the way to do it.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.85.206.228 (talk) 15:35, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

message: In its current version, I don't understand the boot and decompression process diagram given (where is the time flow, what is on the x-axis, why is there a separation between real mode and protected mode etc.). Can someone explain it better? --Abdull (talk) 17:00, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the time flows from left to right, and the line in the middle shows the point in the boot process where the processor is put into protected mode, which is needed to load the kernel into its final location. But there is something that isn't clear from this picture, and that's which boot process is used, the older zImage or the newer bzImage process. I'm not sure but I think the bzImage boot process doesn't move the kernel to 0x1000 as an intermediate step, but decompresses it at 1 MB with BIOS routines?

thread_title:  Boot process image 

message: First, I should like to state that I think the article is fairly nicely written. Hopefully we can retain the quality of the article.
Perhaps a few more tables or pictures as overview, in particular how it (aka vmlinux/vmlinuz) relates to the boot process, but these
are minor issues; the article is fine as-is.
The reason why I came to this article just now is because I am in the process of manually updating glibc. I have self-compiled kernels, all under /boot, and
I wondered whether they will work if glibc is changed. According to the article it seems to be that way, but I am still not 100% sure, so if someone with
knowledge could add this information to the main article, it would be appreciated. As said, I think it is that way, but I have not yet tried the upgrade
myself, so I am just describing my use case for visiting the article right in this moment, right now. 2A02:8388:1641:8380:3AD5:47FF:FE18:CC7F (talk) 11:06, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

First of all there is no citation for the 12 bar blues claim.
Second of all, upon listening, it sounds to me like this is a 24 bar blues, in which each chord lasts twice as long as in a normal 12 bar blues.  This is original research on my part, otherwise I would just correct it.  
Unless the author can provide a source on this (unlikely, given that it is untrue), I recommend changing this sentence to-

Talk:Terrarium

message: Can you hold a fish in a Terrarium?  Wouldn't that make it an aquarium? Or is an aquarium a form of Terrarium?
:The article seems to contend that an aquarium is a type of terrarium, but I think this is incorrect. An aquarium and a terrarium are distinct simulations of distinct environments; that is, they're both a type of vivarium. A terrarium can have a water component large enough to sustain fish, which would make it either an aqua-terrarium, riparium, or (to some extent) paludarium. -- Hadal 03:55, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)

text: Agreed that a lot of this article appears to be opinion. For instance, succulents (and even cacti) can be successfully grown in a closed terrarium. Yes, "underwatering" is required! "The intrinsic lack of drainage..." means that you are watering too much, and/or you do not have a deep enough gravel layer. One problem is that scientific studies are lacking, because these matters are simply common sense, and another is that the "how-to" articles online, which shouldn't be cited anyway, vary widely in the writers' opinions.
