Lots of small fixes, exemplified by the series of memory leak fixes in usb serial drivers. Just a lot of random stuff.. Most of it is drivers (all over: drm, wireless, staging, usb, sound), but there's a few filesystem updates (nfs, btrfs, ext4), arch updates (arm, x86 and m68k) and just random stuff." --Linus Torvalds Mainline: 3.6 Stable Updates: On Sun, 28 Oct 2012 11:01:41 PDT Greg Kroah-Hartman released kernel 3.0.49 With 32 files changed, 545 lines inserted, and 120 lines deleted On Sun, 28 Oct 2012 11:02:45 PDT Greg Kroah-Hartman released kernel 3.4.16 With 50 files changed, 380 lines inserted, and 219 lines deleted On Sun, 28 Oct 2012 11:03:56 PDT Greg Kroah-Hartman released kernel 3.6.4 With 103 files changed, 1060 lines inserted, and 1006 lines deleted On Wed, 31 Oct 2012 10:34:59 PDT Greg Kroah-Hartman released kernel 3.0.50 With 28 files changed, 180 lines inserted, and 152 lines deleted On Wed, 31 Oct 2012 10:35:48 PDT Greg Kroah-Hartman released kernel 3.4.17 With 56 files changed, 468 lines inserted, and 285 lines deleted On Wed, 31 Oct 2012 10:38:11 PDT Greg Kroah-Hartman released kernel 3.6.5 With 98 files changed, 1254 lines inserted, and 960 lines deleted Kernel Developer Quote: "But ah, the ability to configure things. And I have wobbly windows again. I do understand why some gnome people think that KDE may have gone a bit overboard on the configuration ability, though. Because some of the "you can configure everything" things are just odd. Like being able to rotate those desktop widgets any which way you want. "I wonder what that odd rotation thing on the widget control bar does? Whee - trippy"." --Linus Torvalds Distro Talk: Tony Time: 18:02 Distrowatch.com 10-28 - Chakra GNU/Linux 2012.10 - KDE-centric desktop Linux distribution 10-29 - Finnix 106 - a small, self-contained, bootable Linux CD distribution for system administrators, based on Debian's testing branch 10-29 - Parabola GNU/Linux 2012.10.17 - Arch-based distribution containing strictly free software only 10-30 - Slackel KDE-4.9.2 - a live Slackware-based distribution with the very latest KDE desktop environment 11-1 - OpenBSD 5.2 - multi-platform BSD-based UNIX-like operating system 11-2 - Tiny Core Linux 4.7 - minimalist but extensible graphical Linux distribution for desktop computers 11-2 - Arch Linux 2012.11.01 - a popular rolling-release Linux distribution 11-3 - DragonFly BSD 3.2.1 - BSD operating system originally forked from FreeBSD 4 Distro of the Week: Tony Arch - 1571 Fedora - 1689 Ubuntu - 2020 Mageia - 2883 Mint - 3773 Mary Distro Review - Tiny Core Linux Time: 28:24 There is an old adage that can be applied to this distro: “Packs small and plays big. But I would add one more part-- provided that you can unlock the suitcase. I have to say that TinyCore was an interesting yet, at times, frustrating distro to review. Tiny Core describes itself as the Linux kernel and a set of command-line (text interface) tools. The version I downloaded for the review was the Tiny Core Plus version because I want a graphical interface, darn it! The Vitals: Name: Tiny Core Linux
