Linux Kernel 2.5.19 Released

The Pi-Guy writes "It's that time again, yep, another kernel update - 2.5.19 is out there, including lots of drivers ported to the new API, and lots of ia64 and PPC32 fixes! Grab it from your local Kernel.org mirror, or if you're feeling mean, you can grab it directly from kernel.org here. The changelog is also at kernel.org."

    > Hmm. That patch does not compile. "p->cpu" does not exist, it's
    > "p->thread_info->cpu". Tssk.

    Ouch, I am bad. Sorry.

    Make the ChangeLog entry something really defamatory.

    as Debian is planning the party for the 2.4 kernel based system, 'Woody', release. So far, the tables, guest speakers, live entertainment and beer (as in free?) are in the works and setup already. Much of the entertainment had no problem with the 2005 time of this event, but there were some that said 'it is just too early to plan that far ahead'. What they lack is VISION!

    The _girl_ ? Do you really exist?!
    If this is true you have shattered my view on the world.
    May I have your phone-number, please? I'd like to propose ASAP.

    Dude, she told you she lives "next door." I know that many slashdot geeks shy away from personal contact, but you may find walking one house over much more effective than using the phone.
