Hello everybody out there using Linux -I’m doing a (free) operating system (more than just a hobby) for 486AT clones and a lot of other hardware. This has been brewing for thelast 28 years, and is still not done. I’d like any feedback on anybugs introduced this release (or older bugs too, for that matter).                   LinusPS. Yes, it's 28 years today since that original announcementparaphrased above.  The shortlog below is obviously just for the lastweek, though.Nothing particularly surprising from the last week - most of the patchis drivers, with networking and rdma being most noticeable, butthere's various other things in there too. I wish it was smaller thanit is, but it's not _huge_.Bit if things don't calm down during the upcoming week, though, I mayhave to do an rc8.
