1) wait for 2.6.X release
2) Wait for first patch (2.6.X.1)
3) make menuconfig; make; make modules-install install
This time, I noticed the quality hit. I like to run the bleeding edge stuff, but obviously the process has broken down. I reverted to 2.6.21.
I am not being critical of the kernel. The entire Linux community is disintegrating. We have the old Unix-types who love Redhat so they don't really have to delve into "kernel-level" details, yet the kernel is so simple. They are useless morons. I hope Redhat/Suse pays their salaries until they retire VERY soon! Enjoy the shuffleboard, you can talk about your glory days with 8-bit processors in your rocking chairs! You have contributed NOTHING to Linux or anything else since before 1999!
Then we have new college-student types, who of course think they know everything, even though they were only trained in Java/C#, who will pollute the kernel code. Looking back, just out of university (a LONG time ago), I realize now I didn't know very much at that time.
Then we have a legion of MSCE's that want to learn Linux "quickly", so they can do to Linux what they have done to the MSFT products. Perhaps they can get Ubuntu "partially installed" on some machines. These "people" are not a problem because if you ignore them, they will starve to death before they can create a working Linux system.
Unfortunately, the "community" consists of a lot of soon to be shuffleboard players, and sellouts to MSFT, who tell me "the REAL world requires using MS Office tools ...".
It seems we first have to eliminate some so-called "Friends of Linux" before we can move forward.
Disaster?
Until this 2.6.22, this has worked:
1) wait for 2.6.X release
2) Wait for first patch (2.6.X.1)
3) make menuconfig; make; make modules-install install
