An anonymous reader writes "TCCBOOT is the first boot loader able to compile and boot a Linux kernel directly from its source code. It can compile and start booting a typical Linux kernel in less than 15 seconds on a 2.4 GHz Pentium 4. TCCBOOT uses the latest version of the TinyCC C compiler."

Have we really devolved to the point we have nothing but project announcements? Surely there's news of substance, but if there isn't, why not keep yesterday's important news on the front page? This "story" is absolutely nothing but a project announcement. It's nothing new, nothing special, and nothing newsworthy. How many people here read USA Today for the ads? If you do, would you still do it if you could get just the ads without the news?
So you never fucked up your.config and tried to boot a kernel that wont support harddisk without having a backup kernel somewhere? Hell, you seem to be a lot smarter than me...
If you even can screw up your Linux install that badly, then that's a very serious design flaw.

Aren't these compile time jokes for Gentoo getting a little old? Seems every time there's a story about something compiling, or a story about a linux distribution in general, someone ends up asking how long it will take to do that on Gentoo, or ask if your Gentoo system is still compiling. Even if a Gentoo system takes a while to compile (mostly for big apps like KDE and OpenOffice,) you can still use the system for other activities while you wait. What's the big deal?
