An anonymous reader writes "After > 6 months of waiting, 2.4.21 is here. Lots of cleanups, and a patch which gives a MAJOR boost to the 'feel' of the system under heavy disk IO, especially on IDE systems. As usual, available from your local kernel.org mirror or ftp.COUNTRYCODE.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/! Tidbit: 'Current bandwidth utilization 131.72 Mbit/s '." See the Changelog for new stuff.

Review of latest Linux kernel by Anonymous Coward · 2003-06-13 05:29 · Score: -1, Offtopic

Hmm, this latest Linux kernel isn't very good... so far it reformatted my hard drives, spewed garbage from every oriface of my computer, poured sugar in my gastank, and anally raped my mother.

From you journal
"The degree of racism and just plain ignorance was astounding."

racÂism
The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.

I went through that entire thread and there is not a single comment where someone states that one race is superior to another.

Maybe you would not understand this after years of attending government schools but criticizing a group of people is not racism!!!.
