More On The 2.6 Kernel

Posted by timothy on from the dull-roar dept.

Jan Stafford writes points out an article in which "SearchEnterpriseLinux.com expert Ken Milberg digs under the hood of the upcoming 2.6 Linux kernel and examines the benefits and opportunities it presents for Linux in the enterprise." And Semaphore writes "Linux.com is running a great article on the future of ide-scsi in 2.6. It seems Linus and Joerg Schilling, author of cdrtools disagree on whether the problems are with Linux or the application software. Interesting read.."

    Linus and Joerg Schilling, author of cdrtools disagree on whether the problems are with Linux or the application software.

    Joerg has complained about Linux for years (4? +5?), and generally perfers the SCSI subsystem in Solaris.

    Wow it only took 10 years to get reliable sound support into the kernel ;-)

    That's not insightful, it's funny.

    On a serious note, I've used the OSS modules for 5+ years, and it's worked well for me. Alsa is quite nice and I'm glad to see it as the default in the kernel now, though OSS is not unreliable by a long shot.

    "but there are alot of things wrong with cdrecord that could be fixed and he simply refuses to do it"

    Why does he have to fix it??? You have the source code... isn't that what all the fuss is about Open Sorce Software... the big advantage you have in having the source code available???

    If he ain't gonna fix it, then fork it and get on with it...
