... it gets released the minute I've installed 2.6.0
You'll want to upgrade to 2.6.1 to fix this recently announced (local) root exploit. The headline doesn't say it, but according to the user posts it effected 2.2.x, 2.4.x and 2.6.0 kernels.
Thanks... that does help. I asked this question up above but I'll ask again here. When you patch the kernel like this, do you end up with the same exact tree that you would have if you downloaded the 2.4.24 source tarball and extracted it? In other words, am I "missing" anything by patching as opposed to downloading anew?
like would "diff -r/usr/src/linux-2.4.23-patched/usr/src/linux-2.4.24" come back with any differences?
Normally I just download the entire 25MB+ tar.bz2 file, copy my config over and then recompile. But this is pretty major waste of their bandwidth and my time. Can someone give me a quick 1, 2, 3, on patching my existing/usr/src/linux-2.4.23 directory to become 2.4.24? Or are there some kind of advantages to just doing it the way I've been doing it?
The fact of the matter is, spelling errors aren't an indicator of anything, and never have been. But people who insipidly point them out as indicators or seomthing, however, tell us much about themselves.
I would agree with that. Especially considering the fact that a great many spelling "errors" are actually just typos. The person knows how to spell the word perfectly well, but we are humans and our fingers sometimes trip over themselves.
People who have nothing of any real value to add seek out insignificant things such as typos as a way of bolstering their own pathetic ego.
Can Slashdotters offer some personal experience, pro/con, with being instantly and constantly accessible to one's spouse and children? Does this tend to break down your 'personal time'?"
I'll second that: what a load of disgusting commercial vomit it's turned into. It was once a family get-together occasion, and a religious occasion for those into religion, now it's the time of the year where people in debt feel obliged to go deeper in dept in order to buy enough food to feel adequately sick, children to cram their bedrooms with even more toys than the rest of the year, and stores to go plum crazy with ads and commercial trick to try to increase their sales.
And I'll second that. Christmas was pretty awesome when I was a kid. My entire family would get together at the house I lived in growing up. Myself, my mom and dad, and all my brothers and sisters and their kids (my nieces and nephews.) (Yes - I was an uncle at a very young age due to the large age gap between me and my older siblings.)
But we would get together every Christmas Eve (not sure why it was Christmas Eve and not Christmas day - but back then I never cared). We would spend the entire day playing board/table games, eating a big Christmas lunch/dinner, playing more games, and then opening presents in the evening.
The games are some of my fondest memories. My brother and brother in laws and myself would have these 3 and 4 hour Risk marathons. And when I got a little older we would have 6 or 8 hour Axis and Allies marathons. It was great.
But people inevitably grow up and things totally change. Family issues. So this year I spent Christmas in the house by myself catching up on "Tivo" (Brighthouse DVR) shows. Christmas dinner was two slices of wheat bread and prepackaged thin chicken slices. (Forgot to prepare for the fact that every fast food and take out restaurant place is closed on Christmas day.)
So like I said in the original post, I hate Christmas.
When a process uses its timeslice, the scheduler calculates a new timeslice by adding the dynamic priority bonus to the static priority. The process then gets inserted in the second list. When the first list becomes empty, the second list takes the place of the first, and vice-versa. This allows the scheduler to continuously calculate timeslices with minimal computational overhead.
The 2.6.0 kernel is out (within the last 20 or 30 minutes). Go grab it here

Hahahahah... hahahah... hahahaha
Sorry... I find that very funny. Been there. My wife's computer is running Mandrake 9.2:)... I copied all her bookmarks, e-mail, and desktop files over to Mandrake though and she doesn't even notice a difference really. Spider Solitaire is gone, but she was sick of it anyway and really digs Frozen Bubble and several of those other dumb games that come with Gnome/KDE.
5 of these kids are doing the same thing, 1 of these kids is all on his own. Which one of these kids is doing his own thing, now it's time to play our game.
I guess you're a SuSE guy eh? I was going to buy it but I noticed it ships with Gnome 2.2... Is there a SuSE online update that will quickly bring it to Gnome 2.4? I upgraded RedHat 9 from Gnome 2.2 to Gnome 2.4 and it wasn't pretty. Lots of rpm problems and what not. I ended up scrapping it and installing Fedora Core 1.
I downloaded the SuSE 9 FTP ISO image but couldn't get it to install. It never gets past the point of asking me what FTP server to use.
Yeah, I can see why you'd want to stick to Windows for people you're giving technical support to...
Dude - what the flip are you talking about? The guy said "If I were going to saddle my mother with a Linux distrobution I would go for the one that I'm using"
I'm interested in Xandros, but there is no way I'm going to pay for a Linux distro I haven't thoroughly run through its paces.
I'm kind of in the same boat. But you'll be happy to know that there will be a 30 day trial version available shortly. I may break down and buy it anyway but I really want to have a look first. Some distributions are just disturbing.

/usr/src/linux-2.4.23-patched /usr/src/linux-2.4.24" come back with any differences?
like would "diff -r
Does this in effect make my 2.4.23 source tree == 2.4.24? Or is it still 2.4.23 with just the patches applied?
Normally I just download the entire 25MB+ tar.bz2 file, copy my config over and then recompile. But this is pretty major waste of their bandwidth and my time.

If it ain't broke... ...it is now.

If you're going to go through the trouble of making Linux look just like Windows, why not just use Windows?
