nei

However, according to this KernelTrap article, active development will now continue in the mainline 2.6 tree, and the final stabilization will be left up to the companies that provide Linux distributions.

Lenge leve 2.4

[genstian]

fra slashdot.org:

Up to this point, kernels ending in an odd number (2.1, 2.3, 2.5, etc) were considered development kernels, and kernels ending in an even number (2.2, 2.4, 2.6, etc) were considered stable kernels. However, according to this KernelTrap article, active development will now continue in the mainline 2.6 tree, and the final stabilization will be left up to the companies that provide Linux distributions."

On the contrary, they intend to keep at it as they've been, with things first going into Andrew's -mm patchset for testing, then eventually being merged into the mainline 2.6 kernel.

Med andre ord: -mm treet vil være den "ustabile delen" av 2.6, den med mest utvikling, mens Linus sitt tre forblir stabil.

Men selvfølgelig, som olear sikkert mener; 2.4 er den mest stabile

[Martin A.]

Selv kjører jeg 2.6.12.2 på servern, og har vært stabil som et fjell siden jeg kompilerte den, for nøyaktig 21 dager og 17 timer siden.

Ettersom dette er en gammel maskin, har jeg ikke brukt for all verdens moduler, noe som sikkert gjør den mer stabil.
