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.
MacOS X and Microsoft Windows appeal to normal human beings.

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.
