And SLES 10 is 2.6.16. There was also a recent article on linuxtoday.com about the dizzying pace of kernel development and an article today about the -rc1 for .24 that is quite large.
The distributors will designate a kernel level at a specific point that is tested with the other packages and then included with their distribution. For SLES10 it happened to be 2.6.16, for SLES11 it will be something somewhat newer. Clark, Douglas wrote:
I am reading an article in the Oct 22, 2007 edition of InformationWeek titled "The Relentless Pace of Linux" on page 43. The article makes a reference to "Kernel 2.6.23" and I am trying to make some sense of that identification to what I am running. On my server running SLES 9 i386 when I issue a "uname -r" command the following is returned "2.6.5-7.287.3-default." When I issue the same "uname -r" command on the mainframe LPAR I receive the following "2.6.5-7.287.3-s390x." How do those versions map back to the statement "Kernel 2.6.23?" Just curious - and hoping to learn something.
