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.

| Faster than virtualization, but harder to implement, containers are a

| And of course, there's Linux - which already runs on hand-held devices 
| without much fuss. That'll be in a much stronger position if and when the x86 
| architecture becomes a potent part of portable life.

| 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.

Is There Perfection in The Linux Kernel?

,----[ Quote ]
| In a perfect world, you could compile a brand-new Linux kernel
| without the need for much configuration and without error.
|
| According to Linus Torvalds, the new 2.6.19 Linux kernel is such
| an entity.
|
| "It's one of those rare "perfect" kernels," Torvalds wrote in a
| Linux kernel mailing list posting announcing the new kernel.
