Linux 2.2.7 Released

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the get-it-while-its-ripe dept.

MazMart was the first to report that a new stable kernel. Linus decided to name it 2.2.7- a surprise move that enraged and shocked, but since it was the next available digit we shouldn't be all that surprised. Now if I only I had a T1- hemos would kill me if I seized control of the ISDN for something so selfish as as kernel.

  1. USB Support by Jordy · · Score: 5

    Hmm, the USB support in 2.2.7 appears to be an alternate development by Linus & friends rather than from the Linux USB project.

    Anyone have any ideas why they wrote their own instead of working with Linux USB project's version?

    The Linux USB projects sources seem farther along than what is included in the kernel.
