Linux 2.6.26-rc6

| I'd like to say that the diffs are shrinking and things are calming down,
| but I'd be lying. Another week, another -rc, and I another 350 commits.
| Yes, the diff is smaller than the one from rc4 to rc5 (despite having more
| commits), so we're on the right trajectory, but I was hoping for less
| churn at this stage.
|
| As usual, most of the changes are to drivers (with arch updates a strong
| second). The DVB updates are the biggest chunk of that, but on the whole
| it's quite spread out. As mentioned, the diffs are smaller and there are
| more commits, and yes, most of the commits are really rather small and
| trivial fixes.

| In general, though, Kroah-Hartman sees people’s perception of there not being

A Vista vs. Linux Matchup

| Putting aside Apple hardware, where all the software works with

| Adding insult to injury, since DRM protection schemes must
| evolve constantly, to stay ahead of hackers tearing them down,
| I have little doubt that one day you'll come home to find that
| a Vista update to DRM-protection has just locked you out of your
| media collection. You know, the same collection, which had
| worked just fine the day before. Repeat after me: DRM does
| not belong in operating systems.
