Kernel Release Numbering Redux
,----[ Quote ]
| For many years, each Linux kernel release was assigned a series of three
| numbers, X.Y.Z, with an even Y indicating a "stable" release, and an odd Y
| indicating an "unstable" development release. Z was incremented for each
| individual kernel release.

Canonical and the Linux kernel
,----[ Quote ]
| GregKH: "Canonical only contributed 6 patches in 5 years"
|
| BenC: First off, Canonical hasn't even been around for 5 years, so expressing
| the numbers in this way leads to some incorrect conclusions. Second off,
| using a check for ^Author with a canonical.com or ubuntu.com email address in
| the v2.6.25 tag of the upstream kernel tree, shows 91 commits (I should know
| the numbers, since 63 of those were from me). Granted, Redhat and SuSe
| outnumber us considerably, but then we don't have > 100 kernel developers on
| staff (we have less than 10).

Fedora and Ubuntu to incorporate Kernel-based virtualization
,----[ Quote ]
| The latest release of the Linux kernel, 2.6.20, includes integrated
| virtualization capabilities with the Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM).
| The KVM kernel module, the development of which was largely sponsored
| by start-up tech company Qumranet, leverages x86 virtualization
| extensions included in various Intel and AMD processors. Several
| distributions, including Ubuntu and Fedora, are already preparing
| to include the KVM kernel module in upcoming releases.
