Linux Beta Kernel 2.5.16 Out

Posted by michael on from the living-on-the-edge dept.

dipfan writes "The latest beta version of the Linux kernel 2.5.16 is out, with some comments by Linus here, who was kept 'personally somewhat busy' by 'the interesting Intel SMP-P4 TLB corruption bug, which ends up being due to some very funky asynchronous speculative TLB fill logic'. Woo hoo. Mirrors, etc." We haven't been keeping up with the 2.5.x series, but a slow Sunday is a good excuse to catch up.

    Anyone wanna start betting when the dev kernel will surpass the stable kernel?

  2. The 2.4 series. by saintlupus · · Score: 0, Redundant

    We haven't been keeping up with the 2.5.x series, but a slow Sunday is a good excuse to catch up.

    According to kernel.org, the latest version of the 2.4 stable tree is 2.4.18 - which has been out for quite a while.

    I don't read the kernel mailing list. Could someone who does tell us what we have to look forward to in the 2.4 line?

    And we've been happy! Please, this isn't a spider to check for every time a changelog is updated...
