Kernel 2.6.1 Released

Posted by michael on from the stable-goodness dept.

jnf writes "And so he said it is released, and then jumped on a plane to Australia. Linus announced the release of 2.6.1 a few minutes ago, fixes include AGPGART, a fork() bugfix, and misc changes to XFS, and those are just the patches applied since v2.6.1-rc3. Full changelog is avialable, kernel at the usual places, i held off posting this until kernel.org was updated." 2.6.0 is now in Debian unstable...

    well you could install it on any distro, the next Fedora will be 2.6.x based. Also, in Gentoo, there is of course an ebuild ;)

    Just compile the most expansive possible kernel. Package it and "sell" it to cnet as the p2p app to have. Include boot loader.
    No one reads warnings/lisenses anyway...
    And voila! 85% linux on the world's desktops overnight!

    You have smoked yourself retarded.

  3. Urp me! by achurch · · Score: 0, Redundant

    In Mandrake, you type "urpmi programname".

    And now we see why Linux has so little marketshare. Who would want the slightest thing to do with a system that has commands like urpmi?
