Linux Beta Kernel 2.5.16 Out 146
dipfan writes "The latest beta version of the Linux kernel 2.5.16 is out, with some comments by Linus here, who was kept 'personally somewhat busy' by 'the interesting Intel SMP-P4 TLB corruption bug, which ends up being due to some very funky asynchronous speculative TLB fill logic'. Woo hoo. Mirrors, etc." We haven't been keeping up with the 2.5.x series, but a slow Sunday is a good excuse to catch up.

He's not singing the praises of linux. He's not ooh and ahhing at the latest buggy release. Mod this guy down; he's obviously a subversive bsd user who lives in the real world.

Sweet.
On a slightly different note, is there a place that has (perhaps weekly) status updates on the Sparc64 kernel and related goodies?
The UltraLinux site hasn't been updated for a while. I'm thinking of putting Linux on my Ultra 30 for testing, and I'd like to run one of the newer kernels (2.5.x).
I'm looking at Gentoo as well, and I'm hoping that their Sparc64 ISO will be released soon.

If you are heavily swapping that is a good indication you are low on memory.
