The 2.7 Kernel: Back To The Future For Linux

Posted by timothy on from the but-what-does-linus-want-in-it dept.

Anonymous Coward writes "Now that the Linux 2.6 kernel has been released and is being worked into distributions, many in the open-source community are turning their attention to the next development and test kernel, known as the 2.7 tree. To get an early glimpse at some of the thinking going into the next kernel, key vendors that aid in shaping the Linux kernel helped eWEEK last week put together a long-range wish list for 2.7."

    but the article is pretty vague and boring.

  2. Microsoft adverts.... by bendelo · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Of all the places to put an MS advert claiming Linux is "11-22% more expensive". I pity those who fall for this PR.

    what adds?

    I have a empowered hosts file to keep this stuff out, all the advertizement agencies get a entry in my hosts file with a pointer to 127.0.0.1

    Guess what? I have a Apache running with a nice redirect to google in my root.
    So all adds miraculously change into google searchboxes...
