Petabyte storage in a Linux distributed file system

| This photo shows Tim Nufire of BackBlaze

| Pretty cool.

Kernel Log: New stable kernels and drivers
,----[ Quote ]
| At the end of April, the maintainers of
| the Linux kernel's Stable Series released
| 2.6.32.12 and 2.6.33.3. Both versions were
| released three-and-a-half weeks after
| their respective predecessors, one
| containing almost 200 and the other more
| than 130 patches â it seems that the
| intervals between new stable kernel
| releases are becoming slightly longer, and
| that the number of changes integrated into
| the new versions is getting somewhat
| larger.

Kernel Log: Coming in 2.6.34 (Part 4) - Architecture and Virtualisation
,----[ Quote ]
| On Sunday, Linus Torvalds released the
| seventh pre-release version of Linux
| 2.6.34. The release announcement indicates
| that he expects it to be the last release
| candidate, suggesting that the next kernel
| version from the main development tree is
| likely to see the light of day late this
| or early next week. It is not, however,
| uncommon for Torvalds to slip out another
| version despite pronouncements to the
| contrary, pushing back the final kernel
| release by several days.

How to Become Linus Torvalds
,----[ Quote ]
| Linus *still* has no formal power, no
| mechanism whereby he can enforce his
| decisions about the kernel. It's still
| the case that the âonly controlâ he has is
| that he knows the code âbetter than
| anybody elseâ, and that if he does âa bad
| jobâ, someone else can do it themselves â
| that is, fork the code.
|
| Linux has avoided that fate because Linus
| has developed what amounts to a new way of
| managing large-scale projects involving
| huge numbers of geographically-dispersed
| contributors. Although the final decisions
| rest with him, he takes them in
| consultation with a wide range of coders.
| He is constantly involved in discussions
| on key mailing lists that allow important
| issues to be raised by anyone. Ultimately,
| then, he leads in part by being able to
| sense what the collective will of the
| Linux development community is on
| particular issues, and by not straying too
| far from it.

Linux 2.6.34 Kernel Is Likely On Its Last RC
,----[ Quote ]
| Assuming there are no major last minute
| issues, the Linux 2.6.34 kernel will likely be
| released in the very near future. Last night
| Linus put out the Linux 2.6.34-rc7 release,
| which he hopes will be the last release
| candidate.
