Kernel 2.6.12 Released 291
Mad Merlin writes "Linux kernel 2.6.12 has been released! Kerneltrap has a brief summary on it. The changelog is only partial however: 'The full ChangeLog ended up missing, because I only have the history from 2.6.12-rc2 in my git archives, but if you want to, you can puzzle it together by taking the 2.6.12 changelog and merging it with the -rc1 and -rc2 logs in the testing directory. The file that says ChangeLog-2.6.12 only contains the stuff from -rc2 onward.' As always you can find the changelog and the source at kernel.org"

We were negotiating with the Pentagon.
We had a blue screen of death.
That was the last straw.
When you're holding the moon for ransom, you value stability in an application.
Linux gives us the power we need to crush those who oppose us.
It's compatible with our orbiting brain lasers.
I've got a beowolf cluster of atomic supermen.
I have more friends now.
Genetically engineered cybergoats.
Henchmen with bad teeth.
Georgous fembots with a penchant for evil.
I mean Linux runs on anything.
I'm all about open source.
It's just changed my love life.
You have to uh.. config it.
Uh.. and then you have to write some shell scripts.
Update your RPMs.
You have to partition your drives... and patch your kernel.
Compile your binaries.
Check your version dependencies... probably do that once or twice.
It's just so easy and so simple, I don't see why most people don't run Linux.
Thank god they don't, because they'd all be super villans, wouldn't they?
Huh uh ha!
I'm Steve, and I'm a super villian.

It seems today
that all we see
is Longhorn delayed
and OS X on PeeCees
but where's the free and open source
on which we used to rely?
Luckily there's our Family Tech Support Guy,
the guy who makes the kernel
that runs on all the hardware
we bought at Fry's.
He's

Hmm. Sorry. I got carried away
Thanks Linus for all your hard work!
