Linus Announces the 2.6.25 Linux Kernel
LinuxWatch writes "'It's been long promised, but there it is now,' began Linux creator Linus Torvalds, announcing the 2.6.25 Linux kernel. He continued, 'special thanks to Ingo who found and fixed a nasty-looking regression that turned out to not be a regression at all, but an old bug that just had not been triggering as reliably before. That said, that was just the last particular regression fix I was holding things up for, and it's not like there weren't a lot of other fixes too, they just didn't end up being the final things that triggered my particular worries.' There were numerous changes in this revision of the OS. The origins of some of those fixes is detailed in Heise's brief history of this kernel update."
no no they invented this new thing called modules, which you can load and unload. It's really neat! ;D
To boldly mod where no one has trolled before.

Knowledge is power. Knowledge shared is power lost.
Ok, so is it still a big monolithic kernel that we need to recompile every time we need to load a driver into kernel-space?
You're the proof that time travel is possible.
