As far as I can tell, the distribution Yahoo is offering is just the vanilla Hadoop, but with Yahoo's patches on top of it. Yahoo is very involved in Hadoop's development (the project's founder is now employed by them), so a lot of their patches get incorporated back into Hadoop's source tree.
Most of the changes Yahoo made are just performance/stability patches that haven't been incorporated into an official release yet. You could probably get the same distribution just by grabbing SVN trunk.
From the talk page of a Valve developer on their developer wiki:
When we were getting very close to releasing Half-Life 1 (less than a week or so), we found there were already some projects that we needed to start working on, but we couldn't risk checking in code to the shipping version of the game. At that point we forked off the code in VSS to be both $/Goldsrc and/$Src. Over the next few years, we used these terms internally as "Goldsource" and "Source". At least initially, the Goldsrc branch of code referred to the codebase that was currently released, and Src referred to the next set of more risky technology that we were working on. When it came down to show Half-Life 2 for the first time at E3, it was part of our internal communication to refer to the "Source" engine vs. the "Goldsource" engine, and the name stuck.
Obviously because the fight against online piracy comes before major health concerns.
Who cares about a fatal illness when the guy next door is downloading Iron Man?
I just successfully used this exploit on a Fedora 7 box running 2.6.22.4. A bit out of date, yes, but a great deal of "home users" who are running Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu (especially Ubuntu), etc., either don't know how to compile their own kernel, or don't care enough to try. Not everyone who uses Linux is going to bother compiling a custom kernel in order to fix a problem like this, especially if they don't have the skills of a sysadmin.
Not that KDE's a bad window manager, but it seems too... childish. Brightly colored icons that bounce up and down whenever I click something don't generally appeal to me. Let's kill the bouncing.

Mandriva Linux 2009 includes (or will include) the following versions of the major distribution components: kernel 2.6.27
I'm guessing that they mean that they'll upgrade to 2.6.27 when it's released.
"The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later."
Evidently they can't save their own site from being pwned.

This is Earth, not Arrakis.
You must be new here.
That joke and ReiserFS are similar in that they both can replay themselves.
Don't worry about it. The new owner of the used radiation protection suit probably won't have a chance to use it for very long.
They didn't mention in the article that the boxes have to weigh less than 42 pounds.
The MythTV box I use at home (version 0.20) is pulling listings data from Schedules Direct, the service created to replace Zap2it's listings service.

they could have been smart and used recycled iPhone bills for the paper. 3 of them, anyway.
