I think this is a good idea.
I will suggest that you encourage the advanced kernel programmers to present on
specific subsystems.
You may find there is a hotbed of embedded programmers here in Ottawa with
knowledge of applying Linux kernel to network and mobile applications where it

No distro I know of comes with Perl 5.12. I'll have to load it
Shawn,
Unless I'm missing something, Mint does not come with the version of Perl that
you are looking for, at least according to this matrix:

Because I didn't know how unstable 11.04 was until I upgraded. Now I
can reload 10.04 or I can look at a new distro.

Hi Shawn,
I've done some quick checking. If you want to stick with a major distribution,
then you have two choices:
Fedora 14 (details here:
http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=fedora)
or
OpenSuse 11.4 (details here:
http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=suse)

I'm curious why I consider Ubuntu 11.04 a 'piece of junk'. Is it the new Gnome
UI? I'm not trying to defend the distro, but I use Kubuntu, and haven't tried
the new UI yet.
