Linux Kernel 2.6.0-test8 Released

Posted by michael on from the closer-to-fine dept.

djcapelis writes "It's that time again. Latest release is hot off the presses in this final bit of stabilization before 2.6.0 is finally released. Changelog: here. Use mirrors if you're nice, but kernel.org has a nice little bandwidth readout on the front page so you can see how hard their servers are being hit if you don't feel like tracking one down. A few XFS changes from SGI in there as well if anyone is still worried on that topic. Watch for the MM patches when they come out. The FTP server seems to be snappier for some."

    Some Unix users couldn't care less that there's yet another test release of Linux.

    I don't remember seeing any "Solaris 8 kernel revision 23 relased" front page stories, perhaps because they would be very uninteresting, but primarily becuase they wouldn't give a busload of dickless weenies the chance to tell everyone how they just built it on their Gentoo Athlon boxen with the gcc they pulled down from CVS through their iptables firewall. Oh and by the way they're posting with lynx, using screen because they're so leet. And isn't that what Slashdot's all about?
