What am i expecting from those patches?
hm.. this is a good question....
Me, as well, as other users of 2.4.x, expecting XFS-Release-1.0
^^^^^^^
Isn't it ? and i would assume that "vanilla 2.4.x" would include
.0, .1, .2, .3 and .4 ...
> vanilla 2.4.2
Um... month and a half old....

> Mandrake 8.0
Thanks , but no thanks.There are _other_ distributions
I use slackware.... And correct me if i am wrong, but isn't RH7.1 using 2.4.2 ?
And isn't mandrake the same thing with different installer and config tools ?
If yes, then all the development tree you guys are talking about is redhat....
redhat != linux
I really appologize if i affended anyone but there are lots of people that use
other distributions and non-stock kernels....
Sincerely,
igor
