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

2.6.24-rc8, "A Final Shakedown"
,----[ Quote ]
| "I do hate doing -rc's for so long, but I hate releasing when not feeling
| it's simmered enough even more. And the changes since -rc7 are bigger than
| the changes between -rc6 and -rc7 were (partly probably because people were
| still on vacation between -rc6 and -rc7, so we had something of a small
| trickle come in afterwards)," Linus Torvalds began, explaining why he posted
| another release candidate rather than the official 2.6.24 kernel.
