WTF?!
Yes, I had the same problems with 2.4.21 (where 2.4.20 worked fine). I am now using a 2.4.22 pre version, so I guess 2.4.22 has it fixed.
(I think there were heavy changes in the IDE stuff that had not settled down in 2.4.21 yet)
The problem is that the main linux developers switched rather late to a revision control system, so individual "commits" before a certain time are rather difficult to trace back to their origins.
And I wouldn't say that Linus' or Alan's ChangeLogs are pretty informative...
(Sure, there were some CVS trees here and there - like for ext3).
It's probably fair to say that the ratio of time our Connector developers spend in the debugger versus the Emacs buffer is higher than with most software. It's not as high as with Wine; Jeremy White from Codeweavers will tell you that his hackers spend very close to 100% of their time in gdb.
I first thought he talked about GNOME hackers using gdb to develop on GNOME, which shocked me.
Then I realized he was talking about reverse engineering MSFT software: The only single valid reason to spend >90% of your time in a debugger.

the death of the Internet is imminent?
I heard people pronouncing it as flI-k&r
Wasn't this about the imminent breakdown of the Internet??? Btb. What would Al Gore think of this?
This program won't even compile...
Related to this, as the BBC mentions here.
And: You might also argue that the RIAA is doing a better job salting P2P networks.
Huh, Tinderbox?

SCO doesn't mind using Samba.
You forgot ICANN.
Interestingly, they seem to use wxWindows too.

Why not call it: XFreedom?

Fatal: Kernel vmlinuz is too big
Where's the version without windows and gadgets?
So it does fit in my free 5 1/4 drive bay!

How can this be fantastic without IBM?
You missed out on star vehicle IBM.
It's not new at all. It has been deployed for ages: Almost all stbs you encounter nowadays run the OpenTV middleware
You've got a point, but then, isn't the kernel compiled with GNU C?
This one right?
