Or just wait for a "good" one, whatever number that happens to be. I believe Linus current development model is better than the old way, because it keeps the kernel moving ahead. But like you say, it's hard on users. My "distro" can't help me because I don't use a "distro." There are plenty of users rolling their own, via linuxfromscratch, diy-linux, or some other alternative. We would benefit from your proposal. - 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/
