Before linux has service packs...
Although I am an avid supporter of linux, I have alot of trouble keeping up with the latest version of my principal programs as well as the ever-changing kernal. It would be alot easier to update the system if there were easy to install service packs available, which upgrade all the main programs aswell as the kernal all with one click (like installing service packs in windows2000/XP, it updated the kernal and main programs like IE and media player all at once). Also, in windows when you install an update all your programs still run, but in linux is seems that when you update the kernal or compilar it breaks alot of applications (I do not understand this, it seems counter-productive, don't people test updates to avoid breaking older apps before they are released?).
As it stands I still love linux, but I won't begin to start using it as my primary OS untill it has service packs.

Soon as I saw the story on the front page I knew what awaited inside. Hundreds of posts from zitty geeks trying to be punker-than-thou by coming up with ever-more-obscure namedropping to make up for their lack of real style (or to pretend that they are actually old enough to have been involved). Drop the pretension kiddos. We all know that your Blink 182 CD is older than your copy of Bollocks.
I love how a whole new level of conformity has been created by the average bozo's efforts at individuality. It might almost work if your personal definition of individuality didn't depend so heavily on how you present yourself to others. I mean, what's the sense of being into bullshit like [insert pseudo-non-mainstream hobby here] if you can't talk about it to make yourself superior to your peers?
Kinda sounds like the Linux crowd, huh? "I'm so ALTERNATIVE by patching my kernel every day while you brainwashed Windows sheep meander in unenlightened tedium." Funny to think that if you had back all the time you spent tweaking and patching (for no good reason other than to say you have the latest version), you wouldn't know what to do with the workstation on your desk.
*sigh*
excuse the rant. caffiene has yet to be digested.
And yet another troll...

Careful, too much of that and you'll forget how to compile a kernel. Dumbass.
The Chinese censors love this release.

They have been able to increase their detection of traitors and seditious citizens with this new kernel. New jails are being built to hold the new prisoners.
That's all well and good, but is this really news?

I continue to wonder why every kernel release is considered news. Those who follow Linux development no doubt are well aware of the status of the kernel.
