2.6.24-rc3, Small Fixes and Cleanups

,----[ Quote ]
| Linux creator Linus Torvalds announced the third release candidate for the 
| upcoming 2.6.24 kernel summarizing, "hmmm.. Lots of small fixes, some 
| cleanups, and a few things like the cris updates that aren't really either, 
| but which won't affect any normal user, and will hopefully make it easier to 
| sync up in the future. Network driver fixes, some IDE and infiniband updates, 
| some late cpufreq updates, and a hwmon update."

| Linus Torvalds has just  released the first release candidate of the upcoming 
| 2.6.24 Linux kernel: “This may count as one of the biggest -rc releases ever. 
| It’s humongous.Usually the compressed -rc1 diffs are in the 3-5MB range, with 
| occasional smaller ones, and the occasional ones that top 6M, but this one is 
| eleven megs.”

Linux Will Be Worth $1 Billion In First 100 Days of 2009

,----[ Quote ]
| The kernel development process is adding 2,000 lines of code a day or roughly 
| another 160,000 by the end of 2007. By the end of 2008, it will have added 
| another 730,000. So the kernel will have close to 6.4 millions lines of code, 
| using Wheeler's methodology, at the end of next year. Sometime during the 
| first 100 days of 2009, Linux will cross the 6.6 million lines of code mark 
| and $1 billion in value.

| 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

| "With 2.6.24 probably opening in the not-too-distant future, it's probably a
