Linux Kernel 2.6.0-test10 Released
antrix angler writes "Linus Torvalds released the 2.6.0-test10 Linux kernel today, tentatively calling it the "stoned beaver" release. Linus plans to hand the kernel over to Andrew Morton in a few weeks, and then it will be up to Andrew to decide when we see the final 2.6.0 stable kernel. Download it from a mirror."
...nice beaver!
Why thank you, I just had it stuffed.
-- Note: If you don't agree with me, don't bother replying. I won't read it.
I think this name confirms Linus's rockstar-like role in the open source world, as it shows he is now addicted to both drugs and sex.
So what exactly would a "rock star in the open source world" be by definition? A person that has actually had sex with another human being?
"I thought that since some big corporations like IBM and Novell are picking up Linux, things would get a little more professional."
Well, how about the Shaved Beaver?
Is it SCOndomware license certified?
I'd hate to spend hours downloading the thig, for SCO to screw around.

It might be slightly better

Is 2.6 really as fast as BSD for regular desktop use (X responsiveness, etc...)?
No, it definately is not.
Note that Linus says Linux should be turned off for now, there are odd problems.
So, it has this great new feature, but it's broke and shouldn't be used? Linux 2.6 is starting to sound like Windows 2000. It'll probably ship with 65,000 bugs and everyone will be waiting for 2.6.1 to roll around to fix their filesystem corruption issues that didn't crop up during the beta, etc. Personally I won't be touching a new Linux kernel until at least 2.6.5 at which time they should have ironed out the issues with the complete VM rewrite and the new completely new firewall code. They did rewrite that stuff right? They seem to completely redo that shit every major version. *sigh*. I miss Solaris.
Well, the (code)name Longhorn has been in the tech media for some time now. Are you saying Microsoft could have called it "Big Floppy Donkey Dick", without negative effects?

But I always assumed that Longhorn was a euphemism *for* Big Floppy Donkey Dick.
Almost everyday, I get spam telling me I can download images of stoned beaver... I never realised it was a new kernel! .
The operating system is not called "Stoned Beaver". It's an internal codename for this particular version of the Kernel. The OS is called Red Hat, SuSE, Debian, GNU/Linux or Linux. Depending which style you prefer.
My OS is Linux. More presicely, Gentoo Linux. I don't call it 2.6.0-test9-mm1. If I ran test10 on it, it would still be just "Linux" or "Gentoo Linux" and not "Stoned Beaver"

FYI, I saw Naked Gun on ABC here a few years ago and they had removed that comment by Jane. What is the point of showing a movie like that and then censor out the jokes?

This release is tentatively called the "stoned beaver" release (beavers
are _almost_ as good as weasels, as I'm sure Scott Adams would agree).

I, for, one, welcome our new beaver overlords!

Ever since the "greased weasel" series of
kernel releases I have been stuck for a good name.
This release is tentatively called the "stoned beaver" release (beavers are
_almost_ as good as weasels, as I'm sure Scott Adams would agree).
I think that the "Stoned Beaver" is almost as good of a name as "Greased Weasel". However, I would like to submit the following suggestion.
I feel that "Stoned Beaver" sends the impression that this release has problems with volatile (short-term) memory and gets the munchies for more resources.
To improve market visibility, I recommend that the next testing release be named "Shaved Beaver". I feel this name denotes something that is sleek and highly visible. The only shortcoming I could foresee for this name are emails or newsgroup postings with the subject line "Shaved Beaver ready for pounding". It may be a possible problem for SPAM filters.
I agree that it's tough to beat "Greased Weasel", but if you really are stuck coming up with a new name, I think "Greased Beaver" would be almost as good.

And what's wrong with drugs and sex, anyway? I mean I could understand being against sex addiction, but drugs?
Oh wait, that came out all wrong...
