  1. 2.4.19 kernel? by Clue4All · · Score: 4, Funny

    Perhaps they'll be willing to share it with the rest of us. I've been waiting for it for a few months now and still can't get it. ;-)

      I thought that was a typical /. editor's gaffe, but it's actually YDL's fault:

      YDL 2.3 surpasses YDL 2.2 with an array of timely updates, improvements: kernel 2.4.19, the 'Liquid' theme, CUPS print system, apt-get, OpenOffice 1.0, Mozilla 0.9.9, Galeon 1.2, Evolution 1.0.5, AbiWord 1.0.2, netatalk 1.5.3.1, and support for the Radeon 7500 (excluding 'Mobility') video card.

      The funny thing is, already they're a step ahead on the kernel, they are one behind on mozilla...

  2. Which kernel? by dorward · · Score: 2, Funny

    If they are including 2.4.19 are they going to publish their time travel method under an open documentation license?

    Run acceptably on my iMac rev. A, for one thing. I've got enough memory for OSX, but "run" is not the operative word. "Saunter" or "Mosey" are more like it.
