I usually think of him and Theodore Ts'o in the same context (which is to
say, tsx-11/MIT), so perhaps he would know? LinkedIn claims he's at Intel
somewhere in the Bay area, but his employment there dates (LinkedIn claims)
to 2003...so, possible, or maybe he just dropped off the radar sometime
between then and now.

I looked, don't have it. There was a red 4 CD

was ImageMagick but that's the graphics program. It was a 4 cd set

It predated redhat so it was huge back in the day, way better to
buy that than spend a bizillion days on ftp over a modem.
H.J. Lu's stuff was on it.
Does anyone know where he is? I can go look if that helps.

I have to go look but I think I might have this
on CD. I used to have
a drawer full of install cds that went back to the 1990's. If I don't
follow up, they are gone.

tsx-11.mit.edu,
seemingly
because it was never accessible via http?
