What is Digg?19 Comments
- mancat, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8You might also consider using the operating system that your Blade was built for.
- stmiller, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5No you all are wrong. Linus gave up the odd/unstable even/stable thing awhile back. That doesn't apply anymore. There is no such thing as a 2.7 kernel.
Stable releases are made as development goes along. Releases are decided by Linus, most often. - elroy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5I think that rule only applies for the minor version, in this case... 6. 2.7.x is unstable/development.
- Megatog615, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3How about not looking in the Linux/Unix section?
- damentz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Stop trolling in digg next time.
- felderado, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2OK and I'll only run Linux on a 386.
By your logic OSX would never be where it's at. Look at its history. Unix didn't run on x86 processors back in the day.
Seriously... get a life. Solaris might have some nice features but it's not the be-all end-all UNIX. He has a lot more options by using Linux on that machine. - zemote, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Before 2.6 Andrew Morton worked on Stable 2.4 while Linus was responsible for 2.5 development. I think the lines are probably a bit more blurred now. I'm guessing Linus accepts new features, whereas Andrew works on bug fixes. Regardless, all the linux kernel developers keep their own personal trees of source code they are working on.
- Xilon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1umm, forgive my ignorance but what other popular kernel is there? Obviously this isn't about Darwin since it's not the Apple (Mac OSX) section. It could be a Unix kernel but I somehow haven't heard ANYTHING about Unix in the past few years... come to think of it I've never heard news about Unix in my life... And this most likely isn't a Windows kernel...
- elroy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yeah, the whole point was to buy an expandable machine for linux on a low budget. Besides, from what I hear, recent versions of solaris are slow as hell on a blade 1x0. Nevermind that solaris is rather frustrating for those who grew up on linux.
- juangt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1lets see how many geek guides on "how to install the kernel on Ubuntu" hoping to make the digg frontpage :-)
- elroy, on 10/12/2007, -4/+4I just bought a Sun Blade 100 for $80 on eBay. Hoping these latest kernels are ultraSPARC friendly! I heard bad things about .17 and .18
- tyrione, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Holy crap. Read KernelTrap.org if you want to understand the difference between .x.x and .x.x.mm for testing and eventually remerging with Git.
- c3poker, on 10/12/2007, -4/+0Shouldn't the topic include what OS you're talking about? I don't want to start a flame war that only an idiot doesn't know the versioning for Linux, but do we really want to give the impression that nerd snobs are the only people on digg?
- OmegaNine, on 10/12/2007, -8/+3Ummm. Thats not a stable kernel. Stable kernels end in even numbers :o
- Xenogis, on 10/12/2007, -7/+1Bixing should not be voted down! You are all crazies!!!
- mancat, on 10/12/2007, -9/+3Stable kernels don't start with 2.6.
- dublinclontarf, on 10/12/2007, -12/+2What I want to know is will it work with my Dell AMD X2 machine! Damn Dell using some stupid non standard chipset. Can't even get Linux to boot!
- Myonosken, on 10/12/2007, -12/+0Say what the hell you mean in the headline next time.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -16/+4Even though I don't install them or use linux that much, it makes me happy whenever a new Kernel is released. Just because you know a lot of ***** is getting fixed and improved somewhere.
Like having multiple Christmases or something. Or multiple orgasms. That's always nice too.
