Linux 2.6.0-test9 Released
keesh writes "Linux kernel 2.6.0-test9 is now out. Changes include SATA support and XFS and CIFS fixes. Because of the change freeze, this is a fairly minor update. In the announcement, Linus suggests that -test10 will be the final release before 2.6.0-final. Don't forget to use a mirror."
I can't wait. I just hope RedHat 10 includes a 2.6 kernel, so I don't have to bother compiling it myself. I'd love to take advantage of the performance improvements, and I'd also like to use SATA drives in my new server.
You are not the customer.
lex@particle theory $ uname -a
Linux particle 2.6.0-test6 #3 Sun Sep 28 19:27:41 EDT 2003 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) Processor AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux
alex@particle theory $ uptime
01:03:46 up 27 days, 3:45, 4 users, load average: 0.16, 0.36, 0.30
And this is my *primary* dev box that doubles as a server (web, mysql, etc.,) and pretty much anything else I use a computer for (play music, video, etc.,)
How exactly is 27 days uptime not stable?
