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."

    The Dead Collector: Bring out yer dead!
    [A man puts a body on the cart.]

    Large Man With Dead Body: Yes he is.
    The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I'm not!

    Large Man With Dead Body: No you're not, you'll be stone dead in a moment.

    Large Man With Dead Body: You're not fooling anyone, you know. Isn't there anything you could do?
    The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I feel happy! I feel happy!
    [The Dead Collector glances up and down the street furtively, then silences the Body with his a whack of his club.]
    Large Man With Dead Body: Ah, thank you very much.
    The Dead Collector: Not at all. See you on Thursday.
    Large Man With Dead Body: Right.
