Linux 3.0
An anonymous reader writes "In a post to the kernel mailing list, Rob Landley, sitting in for the floating Linus, cracks the whip over what will be in Linux 3.0. His orders are on Linux and main."

Now with even more FP.
Get your own.
I'm close friends with Alan and he visits here often to spend time with collegues and I over lunch break. We use Linux on nearly every research machine here, so there's definitely a connection there between Alan and the rest of us; he appreciates what we do for the physics community, and we all enjoy using the GNU/Linux free set of utilities.
That being said, 3.0 should absolutely be the cat's meow. Go ahead and read the feature list -- you'll surely be surprised and excited when you see what Linux has in store for your computers around the corner.

Linux 3.0 IE 6.0
Don't you know? Linux isn't cool anymore. Any talk of it on Slashdot is immediately marked as a being a troll by being a Linux zealot. You should be installing WinXP, not compiling Linux.
While this is not the response i was looking for, your post there, shows best how the Linux community has gone down hill.
A bunch of rude children who like to pretend they know more then the people asking questions.
With that attitude and telling people to 'go away' you impeded any potential advancement of the OSS cause in general.
Too bad your attitude is rather common these days, unlike what it was years past, when it was a more friendly community bent on sharing and assistance.
As a disclaimer, I've more then likely done more PAID development work to date then you will in your life time. I was not asking this question on MY behalf, but potential users that discover 'a new version is out, do i have to upgrade'.. I prefer not to tell them the same old reasons not too again, so i was looking for perhaps some other tactics to try.
And they will find out, it will be covered in most of the simi-techie mags next month. You can count on it. Then the questions will start, again.
But alas, you have your head up your ass and only compound the marketing problem of the OSS community at large

I'm so glad to see that my post was totally misunderstood ( except perhaps one exception ) and you all had to show how immature you are in the process.
Get a clue and get a life why dont ya.
But it does prove my point of the degradation of the OSS user community ( and society in general actually ) in its full glory. My how easy it was too. Too bad i wont take credit for doing that intentionally and stoop to the level of many of you.
And call this a troll statement if you like, but you cant deny the truth of it. I was around since the early AT&T days, so i DO know what I'm talking about here.
