Debating the Linux Process Scheduler

An anonymous reader writes "The Linux 2.6.23 kernel is expected around the end of the month, and will be the first to include Ingo Molnar's much debated rewrite of the process scheduler called the Completely Fair Scheduler. In another Linux kernel mailing list thread one more developer is complaining about Molnar and his new code. However, according to KernelTrap a number of other Linux developers have stood up to defend Molnar and call into question the motives of the complaints. It will be interesting to see how the new processor really performs when the 2.6.23 kernel is released."

Seriously has Slashdot got such a boner for Linux that they'll post absolutely every fucking little boring thing they find? You must be new here.

I'd love to discuss it, but first of all I'd want to know what we're discussing.

That's not the Slashdot way. We're supposed to have an unfounded opinion based on insufficient facts and preexisting prejudices.

Well damn. That's just... embarassing. Why's everyone using linux if it sucks so much?

The same reason as windows: hardware support.
