Linus Retiring from Kernel Dev

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the been-a-long-time-coming dept.

Certainly a shame, but everybody knew that this had to happen, sooner or later" This also is your chance to voice who should take the reins from the kernel's originator.

    Am I even bothering to hit the refresh button in the vain hope that there will actually be some news on here today? I know there must be some in here somewhere, but today I can't be bothered clicking on source links and reading far enough to try to ascertain what is real and what is 4/1 trash. I'm outta here until tomorrow.
