This document is my reasonably complete list of the new features in Linux 2.6, with explanations. This one covers up to the -test9 kernel released yesterday and takes into consideration a lot of feedback from members of the list and elsewhere. The also has large portions rewritten for flow, etc. If you read the previous one, there actually haven't been that many big changes since -test1. If you just want to see (some of) the changes, I made a rough list at http://kniggit.net/wwol26-changes.html. If you haven't read the previous one (or even if you have), I have posted the update at http://kniggit.net/wwol26.html. (Text version: http://kniggit.net/wwol26.txt) Please let me know what you think. I am hopeful that this will be a good resource for people to use for learning about Linux 2.6. Unless there's some severe inaccuracies, I probably won't be updating this again until the official 2.6 release is out. Thanks so much, Joe Pranevich jpranevichkniggit.net
