I'm using linux as a sysadmin since slack 3.1, and i've subscribed to this list about 2 month ago. I'm not a developer, i don't have the knowledge, but i like to watch at all of your e-mails since it makes me feel like i'm really following the growing of the penguin ! Only now i discovered that there're 2 trees, the Alans' and the Linus' (here in alphabetical order :-), and in these days i saw Linus saying that 2.4.15 is ready to be the result of a merge between the two trees. Now, i wonder if merging the 2 trees is an usual thing, so it would be happened also with 2.2 and 2.0 (thing that i can't knew, since at that time i wasn't subscribed to LKML), or if i'm taking part of a kind of an historycal event, i.e. the fusion of the 2 kernel trees. tnx for your answer, have a nice day!
