Linux 2.4.15 is out; Linux 2.5.0 has also begun.

You can find 2.4.15 on one of your friendly Kernel.org Mirrors (note the 2.4.15 Changelog) From the 2.5 readme: "Linux-2.5.0 is exactly the same as 2.4.15, except for a version number change." So, enjoy the The 2.5 Tree

So who else is downloading 2.5

so they can be cool and trendy and be on the development tree while it's still stable?

Turkey!

Build 2.4.15 with some modules. Look where it installs them... (Clue: Think when it was released)

Linus is a little joker, isn't he? ;-))

Is this Freshmeat or Slashdot ?

It's slashdot. You can tell it is because it says "Slashdot - News for nerds" at the top.

You can easily recognise freshmeat when you see it as well - it has a logo at the top with "FM" written in it.

I'm surprised you have difficulty telling them apart. They really are quite different.

There is a new technique called "Don't Click On The Link Of Stories You Don't Want To Read". Apparently it allows people to decide whether they want to read the story just by looking at the headline, and if it says "New Linux Kernel Out", it allows the user to not click the link, thus avoiding the story they didn't want to read. I can't see how this new-fangled "Don't Click The Link" technology could possibly work, but some people say they are very happy with it.

So... has anybody found any bugs on 2.4.15 yet?

My guess is that the Slashdot editors do this to answer the eternal philosophical question:

"How many people who can't read 'use the mirrors' can fit over a 100MB pipe?"

Almost totally off-topic but...

...reading this I went over to catch up on AC's diary. More human interest than the change log. Got to November 5th and read:

"Windows installation day one. Getting rid of the old windows was easy - they fell apart quite happily, and certainly wont be re-installable anywhere else. "

Blimey, I thought, until I remembered his house is getting done up...
