Ова е копија од слешдот. Ми се допадна summary, а и немам ништо попаметно да напишам.
“Linus Torvalds has released Linux 2.6.21 after months of development. This release improves the virtualization with VMI, a paravirtualization interface that will be used by Vmware. KVM does get initial paravirtualization support along with live migration and host suspend/resume support. 2.6.21 also gets a tickless idle loop mechanism called ‘Dynticks’, built in top of ‘clockevents’, another feature that unifies the timer handling and brings true high-resolution timers. Other features are: bigger kernel parameter-line, support for the PA SEMI PWRficient CPU and for the Cell-based ‘celleb’ Toshiba architecture, NFS IPv6 support, IPv4 IPv6 IPSEC tunneling, UFS2 write, kprobes for PPC32, kexec and oprofile for ARM, public key encryption for ecryptfs, Fcrypt and Camilla cipher algorithms, NAT port randomization, audit lockdown mode, some new drivers and many other small improvements.”

… but does it run Linux?
Since it supports para/virtualization yes, of course, it runs linux!
Another solution to a timeless problem!
Once again, it took many months of work to optimize an idle loop.
It doesn’t and never did. However, the uptime clock wraps around after 497 days. Took me two hours of finding out why the box rebooted (and then why there was no indication of the reboot in the logs) one day to research that. That same box has since looped the clock a second time. So I can say for sure it stays up for more than 50 days. 
497 day wrap around? You should switch to Windows. I’m sure no such problem has ever been reported on that OS.
