Linux 2.8 Kernel Released -- 8:10 am CST, Update by J.t.Qbe
I lean toward the "if it ain't broke" school of kernel upgrades, but I'm going to try this one out just for the fun of it. New features include:
- New and improved Windows compatibility through the Kernel32 module (contributed by SCO). emacs and vi have been replaced by a new editor called notepad.
- Experimental MindControl module allows you to attach electrodes to your scalp and control the computer using brain waves, replacing both mouse and keyboard input. For some reason Microsoft is the only source of the I/O card for this feature, though, and reverse-engineering is not allowed.
- ConsumerGuard: at the request of the RIAA, MPAA, BSA and NCAA, no MP3s, CDs or DVDs will play on a kernel 2.8 computer, thus protecting the consumer from any potential piracy and its resulting consequences.
You can get your new kernel (binaries only, no source) here. Have fun.
