Linus Says Pre-2.6 is Coming
gomoX writes "As seen on C|Net , Linus has announced that the pre-2.6 series will be starting in early July. Despite not having been able to meet the release goal for 2.6 in June 2003, the next stable version is not as far away as you may think. You can take your guess based on the fact there was a 9 month period between first test version of 2.4 and the official release of 2.4.0 on January 2001."

I don't think an OS X release equates to a Darwin release, and OS X of course doesn't run on Intel hardware.

I know this is kind of off the topic but could someone tell me if Slashdot has message boards, or just these comments. I'm trying to find some answer for some random question I have regarding a carreer in technology and some question on my network here at home. Maybe I'm blind but I can't seem to find any message boards on the site to ask my questions. If Slashdot doesn't have any message boards then could someone recommend some message boards where true techs hang out? Thanks
Can't believe I've been a windows user since year 3.1 and never even noticed that!!!
1998 called. They want their joke back.
I know this is off-topic, but bite me, I need to get this off my chest.
The frat boys are starting to piss me off. You know who I'm talking about. The "Linux sucks, MS is the way to go" frat boys. Typical frat boy mentality; anything with an alternative air is for losers and hippies; those that are with it run what everyone else runs.
Their arguments would have made sense, two or three years ago. But Linux and associated software has matured, and is ready for the desktop. But the frat boys whine, "oh, it's so hard to install a printer." "Oh, my modem wasn't recognized". "Oh, I've got work to do now, I can't wait for Linux to get there." "OS hippies." Bunch of closeted, repressed homos.
Yeah, Linux can be tough sometimes, but the payoff is great. No more viruses. No more MS. No more BSOD's. No more nancy boy OS. Actual security. A real OS. It's worth it, frat boys, but you won't know that until everyone else runs it, and then you'll get it. Until then, you'll run what everyone else in your idiotic, unthinking clique runs, get viruses and worms, re-install every 6 months, and cast scorn on the open source 'hippies'.
Fuckwits. They pissed me off when I was in school, and they piss me off now. Go back to your sales reports and your power ties, and let those who get it help change the computing world for the better without your infantile mockery.
