Linux 2.6.0 Kernel Released
thenextpresident writes "It's here! Just updated on kernel.org, the Linux 2.6.0 kernel has finally arrived! We've been waiting a long time for this, and it had been rumored it was going to be released tonight. Well, it's here indeed. Happy downloading." There's also a changelog online for this long-awaited update.
For the Longhorn release, coming soon!
[23:21] http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/12/18/041820 5&mode=nested&tid=106&tid=185&tid= 190 the sound you just heard was half a million geeks all orgasming at once!
Wow, Lord of the Rings and 2.6 Kernel released on the same day? This just shows the dedication the Linux developers have. To not go see the movie and to work to release the kernel. My hats are off to these guys. They have gone above and beyond the call of duty.

My god. Now SCO will have to update all of their lawsuits!
At least offer a bitorrent version for those suffering the wrath of the slashdot effect.
If only the latest vanilla sources of gentoo linux were stable. I would not need to download 2.6 in order to get the nvidia opengl drivers to work.

You have been waiting a long time for this? Wow, that is
Since it's impossible to track global downloads of the Linux 2.6.0 kernel, The SCO Group has set up a PayPal tip jar. Please abide by the honor system and send them your $699 after downloading the new kernel.

I'm glad the new kernel is out in time for the holiday season... wait... that's sad isn't it?

But I just upgraded to 2.4.21!
Redhat is on version 9 wtf?
So uh, what is new in this version?
$foo_obscure_driver doesn't work I'll never use Linux again!
Now I can finally switch from windows!
$bar_obscure_feature which I can't live without never made it in, I hate Linux.
but I *liked* make menuconfig; make clean && make modules modules_install bzimage!!
It's really here... and it just seems unreal.
2.6.0 is a kernel. Unreal is a game. Get it straight.
I'd rather be a conservative nutjob than a liberal with no nuts and no job.
I mean I went there but there's no trusted computing logo. How can I trust software if it doesn't say I should. Linux will never be ready for the desktop until it's part of a trusted computing initiative.
Me not understand changelogg. Should I upgrade? Please explain diference with Windows 3.1

You don't mirror kernel.org! They have more bandwith than God and NASA combined!

Start the build, go see LotR, come back to a nice compiled result - unless of course you enjoy watching the compiler do its thing, line by line. If so, you could always redirect stdout to a file and watch the instant replay when you return.
I'll try one:

-- Given enough time and money, Microsoft will eventualy invent UNIX.
The answers is obvious:
Download & configure kernel.
Start compilation and go see Lotr with a smug "i'm more clever than thou" geek look knowing that you are actually multitasking.
Come back from the film with the kernel and modules crisply compiled for you, install boot loader and enjoy.
If not, why not? It's been 10 minutes since the kernel was posted and I'm not getting any younger.
Hmm... I just use a SCSI cd burner...

i just updated all mission critical servers with this new kernel!
Why is an insignificant little dot-release suddenly front page "news" around here? C'mon, guys, this isn't Freshmeat.

Power corrupts. PowerPoint corrupts absolutely.
I'm working on a free version of a
Linux-lookalike for AT-386 computers. It has finally reached the stage where it's even usable (though may not be depending on what you want), and I am willing to put out the sources for wider distribution. It is just version 0.02 (+1 (very small) patch already), but I've successfully run bash/gcc/gnu-make/gnu-sed/compress etc under it.
I have been pwned because my
My preciousssssssssss...My precioussssssss 2.6...
SCOses can't haveses our precioussssssssssss kernel....
do I have to send $699 to SCO if I already paid. I think this is a legitimate question that must be answered asap. I'm sure SCO will let us all know after the DDos has stopped against their network.
Look at the evidence from the Changelog:
s hing.orgh otmail.com
mdharm-usb@one-eyed-alien.net
trini@kernel.cra
jes@trained-monkey.org
James_McMechan@
Now ask yourself, do you want a patch submitted by someone at "one-eyed-alien.net" running on *your* production server? Can we really trust patches submitted by people using Hotmail accounts?
Go back to Windows, and rest assured that every developer will be using a trusted microsoft.com e-mail address. Don't you feel safer already?
You want the truthiness? You can't handle the truthiness!
2.4.18 works just fine for me and I see no reason to upgrade
don't all 2.4 versions before .23 have some kind of security problem?
what's your IP address? :)
But I just finished
compiling the 2 (point) 4
(point) 23 kernel!
It's still a beta
But let's pretend it's finished

Well, since they all RUN the kernel... try them all ;-)

Tomorrow, Bill and Linus announced it earlier today. Linux wrote some VB code for the new version of the Windows Explorer Clippy add-on. Once it has been tested and verified to be full of security holes, Gates will make it worse and make it available via windows update.
I'm not drunk, I'm just in touch with pi.
Maybe this version will make me popular with women.
It will be ready

Isn't that obvious?
rm /var/log; ln -s /dev/null /var/log
but my point is that the quality of bugs has been pretty high lately - Linus
;)
We have bugs... but at least they are *high quality* bugs! Take that Microsoft
(Congrats to all the developers for 2.6! Looking forward to getting rid of OSS and ide-scsi!)
I wouldn't mind going to my local computer store and purchasing the latest "Duke Quake'em 3-D" FPS for Linux. Trouble is, they don't sell them that way.
Meanwhile in Fantasy Land:[root@localhost /]# cd /mnt/cdrom ./build

I know... Ain't never gonna happen that way. I can still dream, can't I?
That's easy: Change the value to 20,000 and you shouldn't hear the noise any longer. Not recommended if you have a pet.
So you're saying you don't have to imagine a Beowulf cluster of ......

So I guess Linus just found the SCO code in linux.
the biggest problem is when it hits 3.1. Everyone will think, "hey, I had windows 3.1 years ago"
2.A, you decimal supremisist
Effing yesterday I was twiddling some config options in my kernel to see if I could get a cleaner boot-up on my laptop, so I popped over to ftp.us.kernel.org to see if there was something later than 2.6 test 11 out there. There wasn't, so I tweaked and compiled my test11 image with quite satisfactory results. Now I'm going to have to do it all again *sigh*...
I'm trying to teach myself to set people on fire with my mind... Is it hot in here?
I can now burn 2 CDs at once (multiple burners), at 52x without my CPU load going over 0.2!
That's great! Oh, btw...Hillary Rosen would like to have a word with you. In private.
