Congratulations to Alan Cox on his award of an honorary fellowship - http://www.smu.ac.uk/index.php/the-university/news/1792-computing-legend-receives-university-honour . I was aware of Alan Cox the Linux developer, I just hadn't twigged that he was our EtchedPixels! An honorary fellowship from your 'home' university really is quite a big deal; well done Alan.

Congratulations. I now know where to ask which colour wire goes to witch tiddly thing as I build my layout. 

he's got a fellowship, he'll be expecting us to follow him to Mordor next....

congrats, and well done of conforming to the steriotpyical  'nix guru image.

i too long ago, had a raggy beard and long hair...  then it fell out and ended up working on windows stuff...

Congrats from me too, as both a programmer and a customer of EP!

Great achievement!

My I add to the well earned heap of Praise! Well done Alan.

 Congratulations are in order....
WOW!     they sure are! congratulations  Alan!

Congratulations EP.

Oh I'm on the same forum as someone famous

Congratulations from me too. 

Bloody brilliant EP, it is an honour to be on the same forum as such a distinguisht learned gentleman.   

Firstly, well done EP.

Secondly, computers and their inner workings are a bit like building a layout. Absolutely great when all goes well and a very big frustration when it's not working ! So, how do you cope with both railways and computers ?

I wonder if Al will now have to change his profile signature, to say "No I don't know whats wrong with your computer, email Bill Gates and ask him....."

A model railway is just a very big robot...

Well done Alan 

Richly deserved recognition.
Can I have your autograph please?

BTW - do we have to salute your rank of Kernel?
