Bigs liet ons weten dat de eerste testversie van de nieuwe (en langverwachte) Linux 2.4 kernel is uitgebracht. Hier de note van mr. Linus himself:
No.
It doesn't really exist yet.
But I'll be gone for three weeks, and in the meantime there's a "2.4.0-test1" kernel here. It's not a real 2.4.0 release, but we should be getting closer. There's going to be other test-kernels after this one, and we'll find bugs. And bad behaviour. And wonderful features which we'll document some day.
Alan Cox is most likely to maintain a "2.4.0-ac" series while I'm gone. Not the same thing as 2.4.0 either, but by testing these test-kernels out and giving feedback, we'll get to that some day.
Have fun. And let's see how many people find this without it even being announced
