where can we find the meaning of the extra suffixes for the kernel vesrioning (e.g, -ac, -preN, -bkN) ?
Not sure that there's even a canonical list, or that there would need to be since these are rather obvious, after all...
Anyway:
-ac = an Alan Cox kernel, usually numbered -preN = a pre-release kernel, #N in a series -bkN = a BitKeeper snapshot, #N in a series
As the versioning of the kernel is very rational I though that the extra suffixes was very rational as well: I was confused for both `-ac' (Aternating Current or ACtinum ?) and `-bk' (BeRkelium ?), `-pre' being rather obvious indeed.
Thanks, Jerome
