  1. Finally here... seems unreal by Sp4c3+C4d3t · · Score: 1, Troll

    I can't believe it's really here. I was playing console games, then came back to my computer, refreshed kernel.org, and there it was! I nearly had a heart attack. It's really here... and it just seems unreal. I just don't know how long it will take for me to get used to 2.6.x version numbers after these years of having 2.4... I'll miss you, 2.4.

    This deserves a "Troll" mod. I've been using pre-empt since I started using 2.5, because it had the pre-empt patches built in, and have not had any problems whatsoever.
