Linux 2.2.20 is Out

    As my sole 2.2 machine is running Mandrake w/ ReiserFS, I can't grab it quite yet for my firewall. Keep an eye on their ftp site for the imminent 2.2 patch, and enjoy.

    iTunes 2 has been released, for OS X and MacOS Classic. Now, there's something useful AND easy to install. So sue me.

  6. 2.2 vs 2.4 by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Why shouldn't we call the 2.2 kernel series Cox and the 2.4 kernel series Linus?

    I.e. we could have :

    Cox 1.20

    and
    Linus 1.13

    No more flamewars!
