So uh... you're a "card carrying Mensa member", and you're asking for a link to the Changelog when there's one in the article? Does Mensa list literacy as a requirement for membership?
New rules when announcing Kernels.

Since when is the Linux Kernel "The Kernel" "Kernel 2.4.14 is Out" is being highly biased towards Linux users... I thought Affirmitive Action was Illegal.. Isn't showing bias towards a Lesser Operating system in order to get it more accepted Affirmitive Action? Dammit. I run FreeBSD. My Kernel isn't at 2.4.14.... So I'm alienated.... Where's the ACLU?

I don't read freshmeat. I search for things there. It isn't something I really care to see everyday.
I don't subscribe to the kernel announce list. I don't care to read a bunch of garbage everday.
A new kernel may not be news for everyone but it is certainly news for nerds.
If they tell us when the release of XP is, or when the release of a new variant of Code Red or the like is out, why not the kernel.
Sorry but I feel that the latest kernel is quite acceptable to be shown on/.
If you don't, tough. It obviously is going to stay no matter how many of you comment on it (remember, we have seen these posts before).
I like it.

I'm off to check the FreeBSD release. Less hectic. Better VM.
More old farts. No cool hardware. Stuck-up users.
Looks like you'll fit right in.

Yeah, FreeBSD rocks, unless you want a multithreaded program that doesn't choke on disk I/O (MySQL is particularly suckful on FreeBSD). Oops.
Or an OS that supports the built-in network card in my laptop (it's in the Linux PCMCIA support, and worked on the Windows that was on the box when I bought it). Damn.
Or an install program that doesn't lock solid on my old AMD Irongate chipset (both floppy and CD-ROM boot require hitting the reset button on this box with FreeBSD, but boots fine with Linux and Windows). Yikes!
Linux has better hardware support (both CPU and peripheral), better 3rd-party software (or dare I say any 3rd-party software), a decent array of distributions to match whatever your specific install requirements are, and is GPL.
Sorry, FreeBSD sits squarely in the "why bother?" camp.
