diegocgteleline.es writes "After almost three months, Linux 2.6.17 has been released. The changes include support for Sun Niagara CPUs, a new I/O mechanism called 'splice' which can improve the performance greatly for some applications, a scheduler domain optimized for multicore machines, driver for the widely used broadcom 43xx wifi chip (Apple's Airport Extreme and such), iptables support for the H.323 protocol, CCID2 support for DCCP, softmac layer for the wireless stack, block queue IO tracing, and many other changes listed at the changelog"
But does it run linux ???
is this for computers?
Final Cut Pro on OS X is my guess, at least if he's doing anything new and interesting. It's widely known that Windows- and Linux-based nonlinear editing tools are designed for accountants and squares.

*Jesus and I* pity your grammar. ;-)
Sounds good -- how much does it cost?

2.6.16! You're crazy. I'm still holding back on 2.4.10 until the dust settles.

Like LISP? That's what they used to use, but C was chosen for UNIX, and UNIX caught on big time, so C is the language now. I think it's about time to write an OS (kernel + tools) in LISP, so we can return to the good-old-days of Lisp machines.
My other car is first.
... has been released! btw, i thought they were gonna release 2.6.16.61.23.2344_34.
split, cat and sed.
Using a graphical editor? I edit my videos by converting them to a series of jpeg images (one per frame) and using ed to edit them! Damn efficient, quality results.
Look out!
