Hi!
One stupid theorectical question. So we have a new stable
kernel. The 2.2.x series. And it getts better and better - the
10th patch level. As I heard - I didn't have the pleasure to test
any of the new 2.2.x kernels - they run faster on newer hardware.
There was a big problem with the 2.2.x kernels, as with any major or
minor changes in Linux. It needs a bunch of new software. Software
that with the older 2.0.x kernels aren't really needed. So I can
have an old distribution and all I have to do is to get the patches
for the new kernel without any other upgrades. But there are
distributions that make use of the new generation of kernels. So
there is no problem now in getting in a fast, cheap and painles way
all to run well a new kernel at full power.
And now here it goes the question: why 2.0.37? This
question arised a couple of moments when I was checking my private
mails - kernel announce is consderet to be part of private mails -
and saw that both 2.0.37 and 2.2.10 are out. Can somebody shed some
light?
