Linux Kernel 2.6.35 Released

eldavojohn writes "Linus has announced the release of 2.6.35 for people to download and test after he found not a lot of changes between this week and last. The big features to look out for include: 'Transparent spreading of incoming network traffic load across CPUs, Btrfs improvements, KDB kernel debugger frontend, Memory compaction and Support for multiple multicast route tables' as well as various performance and graphics improvements. Linus also praised the community saying that 'regression changes only' after rc1 improved this time around and gave numbers to back it up saying 'in the 2.6.34 release, there were 3800 commits after -rc1, but in the current 35 release cycle we had less than 2000.' Good to see the process is becoming more refined and controlled after the first release candidate — hopefully there's no impending burnout."

    There's champagne that's drinkable after 200 years. Until the troll passes the century mark, I'm not going to consider it as even coming close to having been aged.

    "Christian or Buddhist"? Kind of sounds like an odd dichotomy...

    Support contracts for *ANYTHING* cost money...

    I even mentioned that you can buy commercially supported versions of open source software, i suggest you read the post again. Hint: it's the second paragraph.

    The difference is that open source gives you the choice, you can get the software free and self support, you can pay for support, you can even pay for the software if you choose, and there are often multiple sources you can buy support from. Proprietary software takes away these choices, you have to pay for the software, in most cases you then have to pay *AGAIN* for support, and only the original supplier has the source code so only they can provide an adequate level of support.

    Use of the term "open sores" is laughable, and no better than those who refer to Microsoft as M$.

    Also, your use of "you're" makes no sense, did you mean to write "your" instead? As it stands, what you wrote reads as "You are stuff is no longer really free....", print yourself a t-shirt and you can earn a place on engrish.com.

    The word "cost" is spelled "c o s t", the "$" symbol is not a letter, it represents a form of currency, or denotes variables in some kinds of programming. And i can see that your "s" key is not broken because you've used the letter "s" in other places.

    Over all, a very poor troll. I feel insulted to be trolled by you.
