Linux 2.6.24-rc2 [Released]
,----[ Quote ]
| [Linus:] There's not a lot of hugely exciting stuff here. Some arch updates:
| MIPS, arm, blackfin, x86, sparc[64], sh, s390..
|
| Also various driver updates: libata, IDE, networking, DVB.. And some more
| fallout from the scatter-gather changes.
|
| Some scheduler cleanups, and also fixing the CPU usage statistics that
| got scrogged at some point.

| And of course, there's Linux - which already runs on hand-held devices

Windows 7 to be a leaner, meaner and cleaner Winix?

| The question is: why is Microsoft bothering with all this? The company
| already has all these customers hooked onto its lines. Why not just give them
| a decent product next time by using a Unix (or Linux) derivative as the core?
| At least they'll know it works.

| In a perfect world, you could compile a brand-new Linux kernel
| without the need for much configuration and without error.
