    I agree. I like linux and all, and I like to update my box every so often, but not EVERY point release!

    Mod the parent up!

    This post has been far more informative than half of the last 10 minor kernel release "articles"

    Slashdot != Freshmeat is true...

    When we found out about the kernel bugs a couple weeks ago it was good that /. posted that... and the subsequent patches/releases as well... but this seems like JAKR (Just Another Kernel Release)

    There ought to be a Bash Script for the folks who update their kernel at every release... something that checks Kernel.org... or maybe a link on /. that says the latest Devel release

    I'm not annoyed with the JAKR articles... but there are better ways

    Wouldn't it be nice if the included a link to somewhere that gets a newbie the opportunity to learn where "the usual" places are?

  4. Good gravy! by CAIMLAS · · Score: 2, Redundant

    I can't hardly get a kernel compiled before the next version is released! You'd think they'd wait a little longer to go to the next version. Seems to me like the 2.4 strain got up to .14 much, much faster than 2.2 did... or is it just me?
