Linux 2.2 Released

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the celebrate-good-times dept.

Ladies and Gentleman its that time again. Grab the shot glasses, or the champagne or a beer or a can of jolt and drink to Linux v2.2. Take that drink when you type 'make zImage' (or bzImage if you are so moved) and remember all the hackers that made it happen.

    For Linux 2.2.0 hits the streets.

    I can't wait for a Slacware upgrade based around it (It's time for Slack4.0, featuring glibc2 [I'd like to see it, just to shut the glibc2 bigots up]).

    /me types make bzImage, hits enter, and takes a long drink from his Mountain Dew.

    I have a working install of Redhat 5.1. What do I need to do to obtain, compile and install it?

    Sorry, a bit of a clueless newbie here. :(

    It was a long time coming, but what we have now is perhaps one of the single greatest human achievements since walking on the moon :) Seriously, lets not bring the mirrors to their knees yet :)
