Kernel 2.6.12 Released

Posted by Zonk on from the kernel-popping dept.

Mad Merlin writes "Linux kernel 2.6.12 has been released! Kerneltrap has a brief summary on it. The changelog is only partial however: 'The full ChangeLog ended up missing, because I only have the history from 2.6.12-rc2 in my git archives, but if you want to, you can puzzle it together by taking the 2.6.12 changelog and merging it with the -rc1 and -rc2 logs in the testing directory. The file that says ChangeLog-2.6.12 only contains the stuff from -rc2 onward.' As always you can find the changelog and the source at kernel.org"

    When 2.6 was released. It was pretty well publicized around here, have you been under a rock since 2.6.0?

    "With 2.6, bugs are being ironed out MUCH faster"

    Unfortunately you can't update to a new release to fix the bugs you have, because every new version is so riddled with regressions that it's just as bad as the last one. Bugs are replaced, not fixed.

    "the core value of Linux"

    I thought the core value of linux was to have a free, stable, fast, powerfull UNIX-like OS?

    Perhaps you confusing 'the core value of linux' with 'the core value of Richard Stallman and his army of anti-capitalist minions'?

    Go ahead and mod me a troll. I've got Karma to burn.
