What Will Be in Linux 2.7?

Realistic_Dragon writes "The first discussion has been sighted on the Linux kernel mailing list to put together a feature list of things that should go into Linux 2.7 - including hotplug CPU & Ram support, network transparent sound and improvements to Netfilter to bring it up to the the level of OpenBSD's Packet Filter. And all this before most of us have started to run 2.6.0-preX, or even a 2.6 series stable release happening. Perhaps if you have a (sensible) idea now would be a good time to voice it, otherwise you will have to wait for 2.9 to get it included."

Just like every other Linux.

Windows > Linux.

SCO is just working to eliminate the sub-par.

Linux will never reach the level of stability, security, and (hah!) packet-filterability of OpenBSD!

Usability, perhaps?

Well, the post is informative. For idiots.
