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. Linus is SOOOooo unprofessional by barneyfoo · · Score: 3, Redundant

    Just look at the kernel name, for 2.4.15

    You'd think it would be 2.4.15, consistent with all other kernels.

    but NoooOOooo...

    he has to name it:

    2.4.15-greased-turkey

      Just edit the Makefile and remove "-greased-turkey" following EXTRAVERSION, if it bothers you. Can't miss it, it's the fourth line.

  2. Ive always by nervlord1 · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Ive always loved the thrill of a development kernel, i bet linus is very excited, constant bug fixing does get quite annoying. But ive come to realise the ingenius nature of his development: odd and even numbers beeing stable and unstable respectively, its an ingenius little system, I know that 2.5 has some exciting developments like ALSA being our sound system in the works, but i wonder what else we can look forward to.
    Coincidently, does anyone remember the site that popped up when atlast 2.4 kernel was released and we got to predict when we thought 2.6 would come out, id like to see that site again to see what i predicted. Cheers
