  1. What I'd like to see in "New Kernel" announcements by IvyMike · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Yeah, I know, everybody and their mother whines about, "Why does slashdot post new kernel announcements, wah, wah wah!" And I'm going to do the same, but hopefully I'm a litte more constructive.

    What I'd like to see in these announcements is a description of what's changed. Not the changelists; I want the executive summary. Something like "New kernel 2.5.3 released; includes fixes for the FCI bus problems of 2.5.2, as well as the new virtual monitor support!" That would be immensely useful to those of us who don't want to install every kernel and keep track of every new feature, but do like to stay aware of the bigger trends.

    P.S. There is no such thing as the FCI bus or virtual monitor support, as far as I know, it was just an example. But if you're smart enough to come up with the executive summary for this release, please, post it. This time and every time.
