"Since chances are most people will be upgrading anyway once 2.6 is deemed release-worthy,"
IMHO it already is:) I've been using it ever since the first -test was released, patched it with Andrew Morton his -mm and it's fast and solid for me!
If you haven't tried it out already, go download -test4 now! Even if it's just to see if all your hardware works, if you report any problems now you don't have to deal with them when 2.6.0 is officially "stable".
I've always wondered why you need drivers for RAID...
AFAIK you build your raid array for say mirroring using the bios of your raid chipset (promise for example). Then it makes sure that any write to hda is actually also a write to hdb. So I think it's purely a bios issue and nothing for the OS to do...
Atleast, that's how I thought it worked, can anyone offer me some insight on this matter?
earlier -test kernels had some corruption problems with cryptoloop.
All is fine now:
[gvs@aeolus:~]$ uname -a
Linux aeolus 2.6.0-test4-mm2 #2 Thu Aug 28 15:04:45 CEST 2003 i686 unknown
[gvs@aeolus:~]$ sudo losetup/dev/loop0 /dev/loop0: [0302]:98315 (/dev/hdb1), encryption aes (type 18)
Also add Packard Bell to that list, I have a PB iGo that uses a Radeon IGP320, parent is correct, DRI does *not* work with the Radeon driver from the kernel sources.
One little comment, I still think MS makes the best IDE's there are. I tried Eclipse but it wasn't quite as intuitive as VC++ for example.
How do you singlestep trough code with Eclipse? Never found it out.
vim + gcc + gdb still fulfills my daily coding needs!
I thought about it some more.
If we get a radio signal, say it travelled 100 years, than the species who sent it had 100 years to advance, the further away they are the more advanced they are than us. Something like that.
Why do we always assume that the aliens will be more advanced than us? How do we know we won't be visiting alien planets and abduct its inhabitants? Just a little something to think about...

One more to add to the list:
1) hidden 64bit abilities
2) 5-7 ghz processor
3) multicore cpu
All this to make people delay their purchase of an athlon64?
How much did their stock go up by announcing
this? Why is everyone so "blind" to this?
First the Prescott with hidden 64bit abilities, now this, I'm buying an Athlon 64 PERIOD.
"I know about cryptoloop in Linux. It is bad,"
Why is it bad? I don't see any sensible arguments that support your claim.
Go away, troll.
He accesses somebody his network, tells them about it "oh but hey i didn't do anything bad".
If YOU were the sysadmin in question, would YOU believe him? No you'd have to check all your systems... And that costs money (=damages).

"it is not only the originators of the DDOS, but the very network itself that wants them destroyed!"

FYI,
earlier -test kernels had some corruption problems with cryptoloop.

I'd get it just for the sake of having the Sun logo on my taskbar!
You must all be thinking what I am thinking... FREE Fawlty Towers!!
Zoo-vehrt.
Also add Packard Bell to that list, I have a PB iGo that uses a Radeon IGP320, parent is correct, DRI does *not* work with the Radeon driver from the kernel sources.
You *need* to upgrade modutils, also if you want to use cryptoloop you'll have to get a new util-linux.
I tried those I remember somehow it didn't do anything :)
Do not confuse my stupidity with trolling!

Maybe we should send out more signals?
This wasn't meant as "funny" heh... I would really like to have /.'s opinion on this.
