Linux 2.6.27 is out, OpenBSD 4.4 is in!
Trolling is a art,
what number is Vista?
666
may I suggest Ubuntu 8.10?
You have my permission.
Not so fast. Has he signed form WQ-37 and initialed C12-B first?
Well, they can't release a 2.7, as SCO has already declared that that's the kernel that has the proprietary code in it. (Y'see, the Master, who cunningly disguised his alien identity by calling himself Darl, made an error in the time calculations and ended up traveling back in time too many years. Now's our chance to really screw up the space/time continuum.)
It's a small world and it smells funny; I'd buy another if it wasn't for the money; Take back what I paid (SoM)
Here's a thought. If they're using Gentoo on a 386SX, using the -git kernel tree, and having it auto-rebuild whenever there's a change, they'd never actually get far enough in recompiling to ever be able to boot up a new kernel.

Although, I guess they [Debian] made the decision for 2.6.26 before they realised that a September release would be an impossible target.
Yeah. Nobody could have predicted that a Debian release would be late.

No, he's only filed a TPS report. He also missed that memo we all got.
That's pretty old now, and was crappy at the time. You really should look at upgrading to OSX. The discussion at hand is about Linux kernels though.
I don't therefore I'm not.
That is will been destroyed in the time war. So nothing is stopped him from about to post that.

How much of the code is from Linus himself nowadays? I thought he mostly reviewed/rejected patches, and occasionally, once every to or so years, accepted a patch or two. ;-)
But you can only waste time on Slashdot if you *both* agree to cover for each other. This is an unacceptable solution.
Fascism trolls keeping me up every night. When I starts a preachin', he HITS ME WITH HIS REICH!
I bet you buy your LEGO preassembled too.
I actually pay a LCSE(Lego Certified Systems Engineer) $150 per hour to assemble mine for me, its the only way to be sure.
You're looking for an attractive single woman that is also an OpenBSD core developer and would be willing to mate with a Gentoo core developer. And you're looking for her on Slashdot.
:)
Good luck with that.
