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."
You know what really bewiders me? This a frickin development kernel. Which could have its own merits I guess, but I'm too uninterested to read the changelog or keep up with development kernels in general. I have a life outside Linux, sorry. Anyway, where was the /. news item (and frontpage like this one, no less) for 2.5.18? or *.15? Etc... Why is this one so special? Is it the last in the 2.5.* series before code freeze or something? Oh.. no its not. I beg the Editors to not just lump all major and minor kernel releases under the "Linux" topic, which in itself I think is far too broad, especially for this audience. Please please please create 2 more topics: Linux Kernel Development Releases (stable) and ditto (unstable). I think slashdot is Linux-centric enough *ducks*, that we can handle having 2 topics just for kernel devel releases. Then I can just filter out the unstable kernel release posts and not have to whine and bitch about this all the time.
/. by the day.
Besides, it'd be interesting to be able to search by topic for a given kernel release, and look at the comments to see how well recieved it was, etc etc. -- Getting more disenchanted with
