Linux Kernel 2.6.20 Released
diegocgteleline.es writes "After two months of development, Linux 2.6.20 has been released. This release includes two different virtualization implementations: KVM: full-virtualization capabilities using Intel/AMD virtualization extensions and a paravirtualization implementation usable by different hypervisors. Additionally, 2.6.20 includes PS3 support, a fault injection debugging feature, UDP-lite support, better per-process IO accounting, relative atime, relocatable x86 kernel, some x86 microoptimizations, lockless radix-tree readside, shared pagetables for hugetbl, and many other things. Read the list of changes for more details."
Read the fucking changes. They explain it there. That isn't a link to the usual changelog; it is actually readable.
From what I see, we [on the Linux bandwagon], have a long way to go. We're still playing catch up on in many areas critical to common desktop computer users. I hope some one is listening.
For those who may be wondering how I play my part, I'm very active on the documentation and help systems on Linux distros...all that are still very very wanting compared to the competition.
The last few people who posted 'linux is just a kernel' in response to this got modded up, so mod me up too! Oh and you will find pretty colors if you take LSD.
