You can find 2.4.15 on one of your friendly Kernel.org Mirrors (note the 2.4.15 Changelog) From the 2.5 readme: "Linux-2.5.0 is exactly the same as 2.4.15, except for a version number change." So, enjoy the The 2.5 Tree

  1. Todo list? by LinuxGeek8 · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I'm sure there isn't a Todo list. And I assume there never will be one.

    I was just wondering (read karma-whoring) what the first big change in 2.5.0 will be.
    I guess cml2, the new config/make system.

    Some other changes that might be expected;
    Jfs and Xfs in the main kernel,
    Fixing the latency, and maybe make the kernel pre-emptive.
    There will be a scsi layer rewrite and maybe a ide layer rewrite (that's correct?),
