Just my two cents... :) Sometime ago, Adrian Bunk [1]raise the question about a kernel stable tree in LKML, after a lot of discussion (and AFAIK no good resolution), a lot of ideas travel on the list (also in the midle of flamewar), ideas like "try to not break the entire userland" and "let the distro take care of having a stable kernel". 1. http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/12/3/55 Perhaps the idea of maintain a kernel with other distros is not bad, if Ubuntu shows up as a candidate, I would like to add Progeny, Linspire, Xandros, "DCC Alliance Fan Club" and also other Debian Derivatives. I really don't know if it is possible to mix RH, Debian, SuSE, Slackware and other distros to maintain the same kernel, but certainly should be possible to get all Debian (and Debian based/derivative) playing together. :-) If you give it a quick look (and a quick try), we will have more users testing the same kernel, which means more feedback, we will have more developers working to get it stable and working to get it secure. Probably even upstream get benefits from this model and sounds like a very good way to work together, even to try to integrate outside patches and backporting things. =) Kind regards, - -- Felipe Augusto van de Wiel (faw) "Debian.

debian.README.gz wrong Linus Torvalds mail address
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi, This is probably of little urgency and priority but should be a good idea to have it right. :-) I don't know if debian-kernel is the right list to point this out, maybe if you want I can report a bug against kernel package. Checking /usr/share/doc/linux-image-2.6.15-1-686 for more information about SCSI emulation, I opened debian.README.gz and found out: This is the Debian GNU/Linux prepackaged version of the Linux kernel binary image and modules. Linux was written by Linus Torvalds <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and others. It should be [EMAIL PROTECTED] right? Kind regards, hope it helps. - -- Felipe Augusto van de Wiel (faw) "Debian. Freedom to code.

Attached you will find the Brazilian Portuguese translation for mkvmlinuz package, gzipped, UTF-8 encoded, tested with msgfmt (2t) and podebconf-display-po.
