Hello!

My question is very noobish and I hope Linus would not laugh at this but I am now near my wits end on this issue especially that our creative team keeps on using a Mac computer and would not migrate to gimp in order to make my life easier. 

On that note, my question is will Linux Kernel 3.0 finally solve the issues with Macintosh's HPS+ filesystem and finally support it or at least have a full integration between the two OS? 

Thank you and I am sorry if I took your precious for such a noob question.

Sincerely,

Brian.

It's not too late, I'm still here, and we have many hours until the
presentation (i.e about 14).

I think you already answered your own question, and there's not much we
can do about this other than the efforts that Thomas is working on right
now.

Any other suggestions of how the community could help academia out would
of course be appreciated.


Any other question that anyone would like me to ask Linus tomorrow?
Technical is always better, at least for the both of us.

thanks,

greg k-h
