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."
Don't want to be branded a karmawhore, so posting as AC, but the Google cache is here
Please spare us.. this is killing me.. these kernel updates are getting as annoying as the Cowboy Neal options in the polls.
No todo lo que es oro brilla
Here is a list of mirrors.
...It's a DEVELOPMENT kernel, most people shouldnt even use it. Make a linux section or something to post these in, they don't need to be on the main page.
Michael, you have a lot of nerve posting news stories after what you did to the Censorware Project. I am the world's greatest authority on the subject of anti-censorware, and by failing to obey me completely, you have given me a great insult.
Mr. Sims, if that is your real name, did you know that I am the recipient of a prestigious Pioneer award, given out by the Electronic Frontier Foundation? My work is the finest in the industry, and you had to go and spoil it all. Worse still, you hijacked the domain that I was using for my award-winning writings and used it to write invalid, incorrect, and inhumane things about myself, Seth Finklestein.
Please resign your position at Slashdot immediately, Michael Sims. I know where you live.
I'm not Seth Finkelstein. I still speak the truth.
Who cares, Linux sucks!
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
What could possibly hurt the security of the American people more than giving our own government the ability to hide its
Maybe you should buy a board with a better chipset then.
Well, USB support has been out for years now and it barely supports a handful of IDE-like devices. You're up shit creek if you want to do anything complicated like support printers, scanners, digital cameras, etc. So, no, I doubt Linux will have any decent Bluetooth support for at least 5 more years. Don't bother. If you really want Bluetooth then use a "closed source" OS like MacOS X or WindowsXP. Both of these will have EXCELLENT support. It pays to use commercial software.
