And the long breathless wait for an initial release (eg: not -test, -pre or -rc) begins. ;) >From <http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/README-2.6>: No. It doesn't really exist yet. But in the meantime there's a "2.6.0-test1" kernel here. Linus >From <http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.0-test1>: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Linux 2.6.0-test1 First "test" kernel. Same naming we used for 2.4.0 - there it took from May to December to get to the real version. Let's see if we can do it faster this time. > Is it safe to use it? On a non-production machine whose data has been backed up and by an established GNU/Linux user like yourself, it should be good enough to play with. I personally wouldn't use it until there's more good news from other people, though, and definitely not until perhaps the first or second "real" release. > Has anyone tried this one yet? Not me... although I know Paolo Falcone has been playing with 2.5, maybe he's tried 2.6.0-test as well. > Any new features in 2.6.0-test1 that are not in 2.4.21? A lot! I don't know where to get a complete list, but I know that even just 2.5 had a lot of new goodies (and bugs) against 2.4.21. --> Jijo -- Federico Sevilla III : http://jijo.free.net.ph : When we speak of free Network Administrator : The Leather Collection, Inc. : software we refer to GnuPG Key ID : 0x93B746BE : freedom, not price. -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
