Oops. Insufficiently verbose. The aforementioned bugs are in 2.2.11; this means it's a good idea to either downgrade, or wait a couple of days for 2.2.12
Actually, it's probably the off by one error which meant that linux didn't realize it was running out. (Fixed in 2.2.11, but a couple of memory leaks introduced - one in the rtl8129/8139 driver and another in the tcp code).
Compile kernel 2.0 only with gcc 2.7.2; compile kernel 2.2 with -fno-strict-aliasing enabled as a CFLAG in arch/i386/Makefile, and you'll need to edit the configure script for glibc2.1.1 to get that working (and, of course, you need to set CFLAGS=-fno-strict-aliasing with this as well)

Actually, I believe NZ just has high line rental and unmetered local calls. I haven't seen any options for low rental/metered calls, but then again I haven't really looked. But what do I know; I just live here;-)

Actually, one of the main reasons I, and many others, were calling it a fraud, was because it purported to compare operating systems, yet used a different web server on each; and apache *is* comparatively slow. I've never seen anyone claim otherwise.

2.0.38 is due out around the end of the year, actually.
Lynx is one of the best web browsers there is. It supports SSL, so it's better for e-commerce than most commercial browsers available (internationally).
Actually I don't think he's a moron. And I don't think he's all that fond of Microsoft, either. I think he's more of an average user (the 'l' is silent).

There is no hypocrisy involved here. Free software is about freedom. There is no reason whatsoever to require a user to report trivial changes which are completely localised. How would you like it if you had to report something like changing the spelling of a printf from (for example) the US spelling to the UK spelling? And there is no requirement of contribution inherent in free software. Contribution is merely a good idea - for example it stops upgrade patches from failing due to your own non-contributed patches.

They'll be lucky! I have enough trouble finding signs of intelligence searching the FM band. I shudder to think how much worse it would be at a non-radio station frequency!

Memory leak in the TCP code, and another in the rtl8139 driver.

EGCS is now GCC. GCC is what used to be EGCS. Is that clear enough?
Yes, glibc2 should continue to work fine after you upgrade gcc.
Compile kernel 2.0 only with gcc 2.7.2; compile kernel 2.2 with -fno-strict-aliasing enabled as a CFLAG in arch/i386/Makefile, and you'll need to edit the configure script for glibc2.1.1 to get that working (and, of course, you need to set CFLAGS=-fno-strict-aliasing with this as well)

Are you saying that glibc is unimportant?
On the first point, the people you refer to are correct. But the LGPL is your friend.

Perhaps CmdrTaco should add a "number of times moderated" field to comments.
In case you hadn't noticed, something is already killing /.'s performance, every four minutes ;-)
Perhaps you should try out iplog. Although the logs for /. would probably be horrendously huge.
