Future of 2.4 and 2.6 Kernels

Posted by michael on from the too-many-cooks-spoil-the-soup dept.

Blair16 writes "According to this article on C|Net, not everybody is chomping at the bit for the new Linux 2.6.0 kernel. Marcelo Tosatti, the appointed deputy for the 2.4 kernel is not expecting to make any non-crucial additions to the popular kernel, saying that all new projects should be pumped into the new 2.6. This has upset some people who are not quite willing to move to so-called untested software. Some of their claims seem legitimate, but I wonder if all these people will really be left in the cold?"

  2. idea for newer distributions by rock_climbing_guy · · Score: 0, Offtopic
    I know that I'm a bit off-topic here, but I'd like to mention this while we're talking about making changes to Linux.

    Am I the only one who is tired of setting up joysticks on Linux by inserting kernel modules. Couldn't RedHat et al come up with a nifty configuration tool like Microsoft's joystick tool in the control panel?
