Applications Management Engineer Sr (NYC) Next Step Systems US-NY-New York Post A Job | Post A Resume

Things are definitely calming down, and while I'm not ready to call it a final 2.6.18 yet, this might be the last -rc.

There's a few x86-64 updates, ARM and ppc stuff, and a couple of driver fixes. And a small cifs update. Both ShortLog and diffstat is appended, since they are both fairly small and easily viewed.
