    really, I mean : who cares about this minor release ? Do we have time for this ?
    I'd rather read about Michael Moore's latest movie : that *is* news.

    I love how everybody who asks "Why is this important?" gets modded down as a troll. This just fuels the argument that Slashdot is full of elitist pricks. If MS announced that they were releasing an update to XP this whole site would be full of posts like "LOL OMG MS sucks". and all those comments would be modded as insightful or interesting. Please mod me down to troll. I know it's coming but frankly I don't give a damn

    What do you make of the recent BSD local root explots?

    The OpenBSD team don't generally get too excited about them (usually the response is "bah, it's only local").

    Out of curiosity, what would prevent someone from being able to switch to kernal 2.6?

    Well, if you type "kernal.org" in your browser, you won't get very far. So the inability to spell might be a stumbling block when switching to kernel 2.6. ;)
