As it's become somewhat of a tradition, tummy.com is now taking bets for the release date of the next production Linux kernel. Congratulations to Bill Wendling who won the pool for 2.4." Hey waitaminute, I don't even have a Slashdot shirt, never mind a VA Polo -- where do you get these?! Of course, Linus has promised a shortening release cycle, so bet accordingly.
