Linux kernel 2.3.1 Gifted Unto Us

Posted by Hemos on from the come-and-get-it dept.

30 bazillion readers wrote to say that kernel 2.3.1 is out: a ChangeLog is available here. Standad warnings, everyone-don't play with what you don't know, and expect to have everyone bail you out. In related news, Linus will be appearing at the Lotus DevCon 99' - more information is availible.

  1. announcement - news? by nowonder · · Score: 3

    a normal kernel announcement IMHO should
    not appear on the frontpage. especially
    not if we are talking about development kernels
    (2.1.xxx stopped somewhere in the 130's - that'd
    be more than 130 announcements).

    it's completely ok to announce the first version
    of a new stable or development branch. it may
    then be ok to announce some more stable versions
    as they increase in stability. also announcing
    development kernels can IMHO be okay, if there
    is a specific new feature implemented
    people might really care about (like when ntfs
    support was added to the 2.1.xxx branch).

    just my 0.02 euros

  2. Rob, please stop postings about devel kernels by sam_vilain · · Score: 3

    Those who care know where to find out. This isn't Freshmeat. Let's try to avoid newbies flooding the lists and usenet groups.
