Stable Linux Kernel 2.6.10 Released

An anonymous reader writes "Offering it as 'something to play with over the holidays,' Linus Torvalds released the official 2.6.10 Linux kernel, which he named the 'Woozy Numbat.' KernelTrap offers the full details, noting that there have been minimal changes since the last release candidate, 2.6.10-rc3. Linus commented that with 2.6.10 released, now he could 'get into the Glögg for real' (a hot mulled wine with spices, red wine, port and brandy). As always, the latest Linux kernel can be downloaded from a kernel.org mirror." (Here are some recipes, too.)

    Perhaps you should remeber it is CHRISTmas not Xmas and a time for your family and loved ones. Would you be shouting about politics if you were in Iraq? Be thankful that you have a Christmas.

    Yes Jesus was born in the spring or early summer.

    In the time of Jesus it wasn't exactly kosher to be Christian. Christmas was celebrated very early on in December under the cover of other holidays, some Pagan some I forget the details of. The tradition stuck. It was made official in 336AD when the pope decreed christmas was to be celebrated on 12/25 to offset a pagan holiday.

    I know we're already OT... For all of those wishing to know about the Jewish faith/nation/religion, check out http://www.jewfaq.org

    This site helped me immensley in the beginning of my relationship with a Jewish woman.

    Oh... and to address the post... when somebody says "merry Christmas" and you're not Christian... just return the sentiment. Be happy that you're being included.

    I don't get pissed of when Jews say "happy chanukkah", I am pleased that they are choosing to include me.

    He said store them in the car, not open and drink them in the car whilst lighting a cigarette and putting on lipstick.

    I'd like to think most of us slashdotters have the sense to not drive drunk.
