Comment new kernel (Score 1) 96
hmm.. thanks for your ideas.. I would never have though of typing "linux" into a search engine, lemme give it a shot..
ok.. at Altavista I entered the following query +linux +kernel, There were 535980 reference to "kernel" and 236646 reference to "linux". Now I don t know about you but I m programmer who works
on things other than linux for a living..gasp..so it s not a priority to spend hours sifting though webpages to find the latest information on the linux kernel....
Second..Because of linux s amorphous nature, information is dispersed all across the internet. Because of this, sometimes more inexperienced users will often ask questions that might be
obvious to more seasoned linux users. Responses to these questions that contain no useful information other then the sentiment RTFM don t do the linux community any good and will/could turn potential users away from considering Linux as a viable operating system. I personally would love to see my boss,clients and friends adding linux partitions to their machines at home/work and when they do I plan on fielding
everyone of their questions in a kind and informative manner.
