Hi, 

I've just copied 2.4.17-rc1 to ftp.kernel.org... Its mirroring yet,
probably.

Well, I want people with the "unfreeable" buffer/cache problem to confirm
with me that 2.4.17-rc1 is working ok.

The same change which should fix that problem also should make 2.4 a bit
less "swap happy".

  IA64                          (Andrew Morton)

  closed fd                      (Douglas Gilbert)

- Avoid direct IO's "misunderstanding" of which 
  block device it should use              (Masanori Goto)

  dependant code and put it in unified codepath (Dave Jones)

mooie lijst, misschien gaat het eindelijk terug de goede kant op met de 2.4.x reeks.

Maar jammer genoeg geen support voor de audigy kaarten waar ik persoonlijk toch op zit te wachten :(

If it ain't broken it doesn't have enough features

De policy is gewijzigd. Er is na 2.4.17-pre8 geen nieuwe functionaliteit toegevoegd, slechts bugfixes. Dat heeft geleid tot rc1. En als deze goed is gaat ie (ongewijzigd) door als de stable 2.4.17. Geen rare dingen nog gezien, maar ben net weer 10 minuutjes online :z
