    "Lets hit those servers"???

    You've got to be kidding?

    An early release of a development kernel?

    As if....

    Damn, no ATA RAID for me, then :)
    This one has been reported on the LKML some weeks ago but AFAIK now fix is made public yet...

    Is that moded redundant because people start screaming about this every time slashdot posts a new kernel release? I'm not sure you're meant to do that, else everytime a story gets posted twice we'd have to mode every comment redundant ;-)

    Oh, and to the gibbering fucksticks with the mod points - it's generally considered "Flamebait" when I call into question the ideals of the Great Slashdot Hivemind, not a "Troll." Thanks.
