Linux Kernel 2.2.26 -- 2.2 is not dead!

Posted by timothy on from the continuing-updates-as-they-happen dept.

midianus writes "Marc-Christian Petersen released Linux Kernel version 2.2.26. The release includes several security fixes. After Alan Cox released the previous 2.2 kernel, 2.2.25 in March of 2003, he began a one year sabbatical to study for an MBA in August of the same year and handed over the Maintainership of 2.2 to Marc-Christian."

    I remember something about SCO's claims not affecting any kernel before 2.4.

    Quick! Avoid the SCO tax, downgrade to 2.2.26 today!
