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."

I have made Debian RPM (and .deb for 3.0, Sarge is switching to the industry standard for 3.1). packages. Download them here.

Uh-Oh.

This will surely cause the fat fucking linux-loving lard-asses to cream their panties! Quick, someone get the Beowulf Clusters!

Elegy for Linux

• 
  I am a Linux user
  and I try hard to be brave
  That is a tall order
  Linux's foot is in the grave.
  
  I tap at my toy keyboard
  and whistle a happy tune
  but keeping happy's so hard,
  Linux died so soon.
  
  Each day I wake and softly sob
  Nightfall finds me crying
  Not only am I a zit faced slob
  but Linux is dying.

Too bad it won't be in Debian until 2015.

Thanks to Junis, it now runs on the Commodore 64.

I want CRACK-SMOKING BEAVER as its name!

It's a much better name, you know?
And in the years ahead, we'll all look back fondly on that one when it comes up.

Linux will not go mainstream...

[Anonymous Coward]

Linux will not go mainstream if you have to do that kind of crap just to get a USB mouse working.

Re:Linux will not go mainstream...

Yeah, that would explain why upgrading from Mandrake 8.1 to Mandrake 9.2 means that my DEC 21041 NIC suddenly no longer works. The card doesn't even get intialised properly. No link, nothing.

Of course it works fine under a couple of other Operating Systems I have installed on the same machine, and worked fine under Mandrake 8.1 for years.

Go Linux. Woo..

Wohoo! Point out a problem in Linux? Boy, that must be a Troll! Sure got that sucker!

To save the next moderator the trouble of wondering wether to mark this as a troll. GOATSEX! GNAA! Spraying shit!

Here's where I get modded down but...

In SOVIET RUSSIA the beaver stones you!

I couldn't help it. I was actually quite the Yakov Smirnoff fan as a kid. My younger brother even has an autographed picture of him which might have something to do with my unnatural fascination with that joke.

Re:problems in test9

[Anonymous Coward]

So, let's get this straight. Getting a USB mouse to work under Linux still involves kernel configuration?

Isn't this somewhere around square 1 in the "Linux is ready for the desktop" game?
