Linux Kernel 2.2.26 -- 2.2 is not dead!

Posted by timothy on Wednesday February 25, 2004 @09:58AM 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."

If someone fixes a bug in 2.4 or 2.6 that was also present in 2.2, it makes sense to fix it in 2.2 as well. That's one of the jobs of the 2.2 maintainer.
