Linux 2.6.0-test11 Kernel Released
An anonymous reader writes "Linus Torvalds has released his final 2.6.0-test kernel, calling it the 'Beaver In Detox'. Following this release, Linus says that 2.6 development will be led by Andrew Morton. The kernel's name refers in jest to the previous release, which Linus had named "Stoned Beaver". It contains a fix for the aic7xxx driver, proper error handling in do_fork(), some firewire fixes, and correction of a few skbuff leakage points. Download it from a kernel.org mirror."
It WASN'T funny there, and IT isn't FUNNY here.
Now DO you UNDERSTAND?
-- Fighting mediocrity one bad post at a time.
I'm sure this question has been asked before, but I'd like to get the opinion of the folks here -- what's the reason for the (seemingly) better coverage/popularity of Linux vs *BSD? Is it the development model? Better architecture? More hardware support? Cuter mascot? ...
On the other hand, I'm drunk and maybe just imagining all of this...
kernel mantainer and diana biographer... amazingly multifacetic guy
I mean I heard all these great things about this 'Linux' so I downloaded the new kernel thingy. I went into 'My Documents', double clicked it and my computer said that it wasn't an executable. It was the wierdest thing though cause it did execute and my screen turned all blue. It wasn't very functional, but it reminded me of windows exactly. The only it could do was restart my computer, but hey you gotta start somewhere.
