Errr nevermind- I thought that the above was the entirety of the "troll" post ( I saw the rest- troll indeed). Anyway, I mentioned *I* had some of the same questions, I feel like I should clarify them- My questions have been in the management of the 5.x RELEASES- it's been quite some time since 5.0, and the 5.x series is still touted as "scary experimental stuff that will break"- I just think that's really hurt the adoption of it- For basic serverside stuff, bits like ACPI and sound aren't needed at all- Perhaps once the scheduling and pthread stuff has been solidified, a "stable base" release should be made? Meaning that the release as a whole should still be considered unstable, but using the as-shipped "stable" kernel config, things should be nice and solid? Anyway, just my 2 cents- I don't need a response or anything, just making my thoguhts known. ===== -- live- http://www.scosol.org/ to- AIM: IMFDUP _-jupiter accepts your offer-_Received on Fri Apr 09 2004 - 10:14:08 UTC
