Re: [linuxtools-dev] Re: Linux-only features

[William Bourque <william.bourque@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Is there a difference between "Linux" and "Unix" when we says "Linux Only" ?

Because for what I see, most of our features would work on most
non-linux Unix (like Solaris) as well, since some others like LTTng
might not.
So for what I see there is like "Work on all Unixes with corect tools
installed (or we could say POSIX compliant OSes?)", "Work on Linux only"
and "Work on everything without any additionnal tools"

Just my 2 cents, maybe we don't want to do such distinction.
