Let's skip this discussion and wait for the next kernel to come out next week...
you must have been to

recently.
When will they segregate it by CPU type? I don't want, nor do I need, drivers for completely different CPU types. As far as I'm concerned, this is wasted hard disk space - a 30.6MB kernel could be shrunk down significantly if it were, oh say, linux-i386-2.4.16.tar.gz
just a thought.
now i'll be up all night downloading it on my 14.4 k modem!
no, it is not.
it's the zeroth post, you hinge.

Sadly, you are right. We should all abandon Linux and move to a much better operating system like Gnome.
Not in Smalltalk, you mindless dungheap.
-1 Redundant
A lot of us used later 2.3.x and 2.1.x kernels. Also, early development kernels are pretty stable because they have not been that deviant from the main tree.
don't warn the dweebs. we do need some people to test the dev kernels.
Unless you have good reason, you should probably just stick with your latest vendor provided kernel. Redhat at least does serious testing to kernels they package. I assume other vendors do the same.
Would you READ the release? Literally HALF of the block device drivers are broken, as is the SCSI subsystem. Someone mod this down, this guy's an ass.
All software has security holes. This kernel will have holes. As soon as anyone knows about it - it wil l be patched though. Software may be insecure but the Linux development model keeps me safer than any other.
Don't you mean the 2,712,973rd post?
What kind of a fuckwit troll announces their true nature in their username?
That's right. Communism and Zionism go hand in crooked hand. And Hitler himself was part Jewish, firming up the fascism connection.
The Star of David is a corruption of the Pentagram, used to cover up Zionism's evil roots.
that's for all time. not for this story.
if ya wanna play the game, learn the rules, tardo, maggot-dropping muther-fucker.
Another One?!
Please bend over for your friendly facist dictator Bill Gates. Hand him the vaseline, and let him ride you like the little monkey fuck you are.
FUCK ALL -1 FAGGOTS
Please mod parent down : this is textbook karma-whoring ...

I'd like to run Linux on my P4 box I'm in the middle of building.. but what advantages are there? (over XP) I hate trying to figure out how to install new software or drivers with the command line... I'm really new to the idea but I like it and would want to know how to do this. Last time I tried (and failed) to make my P3 a linux rig, I got stuck trying to add my secong monitor.. Instead of "auto detect" it defaults to the pci video card and leaves the agp monitor blank. What a bitch. What's new with 2.5 that will make my life easier? There is really nothing leaving me on XP but palm support and office... and maybe photoshop. Well?
