What is Digg?16 Comments
- leszek, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5a new kernel is released every few days, i dont think it is news.
btw the 2.6.16.4 is released ( http://www.kernel.org ) - evilgod69, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3well, if u have alook @ what category this story is filed under, then look @ the version number of the kernel, most digg users will know exactly what kernel they are talking about. Also there is a picture of a Penguin in the top left corner of the article, so for those who didn't figure it out from the first 2 hints...
Altho, it would have been nice to state linux in the title, for those 0.01% of digg users who couldn't figure it out purely off the version number. - Hydraulix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Slow down Syowr. It's just a joke.
- kewlceo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Kernal Sanders. Clue: see Tux, the penguin?
- Nameless1, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4Just what kind of kernel are you talking about? windows? linux? bsd? so on and so forth? Btw i know thats its the linux kernel, yet there is no mention of this in the article.
- ViceVirtue, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Hmm, Tux and Sanders have been good friends since their days of service in 'naam... I guess this means big things for KFC fans. They finally got the bugs out of the Wicked Wings!
- nograz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Speaking of ~x86, I should update my system today...
Of which I will have to re-do all of my /etc/portage/package.keywords due to a slight slip up of > instead of >>, doh!
I should also write a script to backup those files too in case I have another morning brain fat moment. - eklitzke, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Exactly what I thought. There's a new kernel release at least once a week, and in this case 2.6.16.4 was released hours after 2.6.16.3. For those who don't know, the fourth number refer to a security or minor bug fix, and normally differ from the previous release by only a dozen or so lines of code. Changes to the third number happen every four to six weeks or so, and represent actual feature changes, API and ABI changes, etc.
- cabal666, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Stable - huh? Looks more like test builds for end-users. Slower release schedules would be more adequate, quality instead of quantity ...
- stoops, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Man, I remember those days of updating the Linux Kernel, it was awesome since I had nothing to do on the weekends.
- Hydraulix, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Pffft. It's all about 2.6.16.4. You gotta love ACCEPT_KEYWORDS = ~x86 in /etc/make.conf. :-)
- syowr, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Yea running ~x86 for everything is a GREAT idea. Why not just unmask everything while yer at it and REALLY be on the bleeding edge.
- rishimaharaj, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3This isn't news. No digg.
- linnerd40, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0I realize that a new kernel is released about every week (almost daily sometimes). If you don't like my post, don't digg it. It is really quite simple.
- rvalles, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0Dugg. Since it fixed a security problem (local DoS) I believe it's worth noting,
- VaporBro, on 10/26/2007, -8/+4your mom like totaly used to release every few days...what?
