Others are arguing about _subtle_ differences; what Linus did was huge by comparison. It's as if they were discussing what shade of red to call something and Linus came along and declared it green! "Release candidate" means candidate for release. Simple and easy to understand, no? Does Linus plan on possibly releaseing -rc1 as 2.6.10 tomorrow? I don't think so... I plan to start testing 2.6.10 upon its final release. --Chuck Ebbert 23-Oct-04 09:18:15 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
