    Good to see the Linux kernel making such leaps and bounds.

    Keep at it guys!

  2. Stability vs Features by the-dude-man · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Its good they finally got it to boot...but still...i think there are far to many bugs in printk. I've had the 2.5's barf on me quite a bit because of this, and it only seems to get worse as it spans out over more proccessors. I think we need to proritize here. The kernel devlopers should be focusing more on stablilzing the 2.5.x kernels rather than adding loads and loads of new features. The recent benchmarks show the 2.5.x kernels are lagging way behind 2.4 and even 2.3 kernels. I think we need to stop loaded all the pretty new features for a minute and focus on getting what we have right now to work. I still have problems with ntfs writing out malformed blocks :|

    There is alot of cool stuff in the new 2.5.x kernels i will admit, and i look forward to using it, but as it stands i cant put a 2.5 kernel anyweres but on my home machine because once it hits a production envoirnment it craps itself. I know its just a devlopment release, but lets get it speed up a little before we start working on features for distrubted systems :)
