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."
"A young whippersnapper, then. When you have a bit more experience of the real world you might start to understand just how many critical systems already run on Linux." - by 0123456 (636235) on Monday August 02, @03:06AM (#33107656)
LMAO - Oh, really? You'd be surprised at how many MORE run on say, Microsoft's Windows NT-based OS' as well as those from the likes of IBM for instance... & as to "young whippersnapper"?? LMAO, again, because I've actually been around these systems for over 28++ yrs. now, & for nearly 16 professionally as both a dev using multiple languages, tools, & OS' + as a network administrator as well (in addition to having done quite well in publication & technical contests for my works in commercial wares, such as MS' Tech Ed, 2yrs. in a row no less & in its hardest category). I also possess multiple degrees around this science... have you done the same to ALL of the above? Somehow, despite your attempted ad hominem attack upon myself, rather than disputing points I made (which is the last resort of trolls on both accounts mind you on your part), and attempting to act as if YOU were my "senior" in this art & science? I doubt it. As to wares written for defence contractors? Check with Raytheon and their artillery control wares written for the IRAQ conflict, because the poster I replied to mentioned working for defense contractors. Soldiers lives depend on it, and yes, it works, and it's written on the Windows platform, so... Better luck next time, troll.
