Linux Kernel 2.6.0-test8 Released

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."

    "All told, copmputer fans should look for services that offer the best experience and take advantage of the best digital rights platform available for PCs. With Windows XP 2003, you get faster starts, better quality internet, and support for the most websites," Fester said.

    You must be in marketing. Excellently muddled claim about imaginary issues. I bet you spent some time one on that line, getting the nuance, the feel, correct. The art of selling the sizzle, not the steak. "Bullshit", as an artform is second only to propaganda. I would hire you.

    is linux's lack of driversupport. i dont have the skills or time to write my own, and if i dont have access to half of my hard drives, because my ide card is unsupported or wifi because the centrino wifi is unsupported you expect me to be happy and use linux anyway? well yeah i do have dual boot on my desktop but i need wifi on the laptop and its only a 40gb drive, not big enough for that.
