  1. New kernel release - political statement? by DarkMan · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    2.4.21 is out.

    Now, what's particularly interesting is that it's arrived right at the dead time between SCO treatening to do something, and actually doing it.

    If I wanted to thumb my nose at SCO, I'd release a kernel right now (probably call it the "recumbant bicycle" release, or something). Of course, the dev time for the stable series is so long, that it's just coincidence - right?

    So why did Marcelo say he was planning 2.4.22 in a few weeks?

    If SCO's aim is to hurt linux, I think that they just got a good demonstration that the engineers (who, in terms of OSS, are the only ones who count) don't care about them.
