It contained a lot of useful info in one place, with pointers to more details. What I'm seeing (and getting a little concerned about, although I dislike PR with a passion) is that the 2.6.x continuous development cycle will cause us (the Linux community) to miss logging some of these important new features (outside of bk). Has anyone kept a track of new features that are being added in 2.6? I'll keep a list (or someone else can -- DaveJ ?) if anyone is interested in feeding items into it. Or do distros already keep such a running list of new features? For example (and some of these might not be needed here): - NUMA support and API, including some CPU affinity updates - hotplug and udev - security fixes - better ACPI support, better interrupt routing, MSI support - faster pipes Thoughts? Thanks, -- ~Randy
