For all you Linux folks you can grab the new kernel here or check out the change log here.
 
I don't see much difference from 2.6.1 unless you specifically need it for certain support or better support for existing HD.
 
I always thought that Linux was safe and good, but now I am looking at 100+ pages of changelog between 2.61 and 2.62 alone...
 
Mistakes happen. And not everything in the changelog is a critically serious issue. *Shrug*
 
I compiled it, haven't really noticed a difference between 2.6.0, 2.6.1, and 2.6.2, the 2.6.x does seems a hell of a lot faster than the 2.4.x

Imagine if you saw the changelog for some Microsoft kernel between "versions".
 
Also like alot of things in the computer world you don't have to upgrade unless there is a new feature/bug fix/security patch that you need. New doesn't always = better/stable

LOL. You'd probably need google to search through it.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
