Linux 2.6.0 Expected In Mid-December

Posted by timothy on from the send-more-penguins dept.

Ridgelift writes "CRN is reporting the release of Linux 2.6.0 in mid-December. 'Torvalds, Linux's lead developer and now an OSDL Fellow, and Linux kernel maintainer Andrew Morton this week released the test10 version of Linux 2.6 after a three-year development effort. A final test11 version is expected before they sign off on the production version next month.' Get ready for 'major scalability improvements, faster performance, enhanced support for embedded systems and, to a lesser extent,' a kernel that 'supplies desktop systems with better USB and FireWire support.'"

    So many stories covering this, so many, yet Slashdot has to go and pick the one with the SCO angle. It's just about universally recognised now that SCO doesn't have a leg to stand on, so frankly, what gives?

    Well, you can subscribe all you want. or you could just post to LKML anyways.

    however, you will probably be just deleted. It would be much more fun to spoof email addresses using SMTP and send a message to cmdrtaco@slashdot.org from ltorvalds@osdn.org with the subject "Slashdot is the coolest thing ever I want to interview" and a neat link in the body that goes to, ya know, goatse or whatever.
