“Linus Torvalds’s laptop runs out of batter[y] power too
fast…The future of Linux therefore holds power management and
several other features aimed at making the open source” operating
system better for ordinary computer users, Torvalds said today at a
keynote address at the LinuxWorld Conference and Expo…”
“Glimpses into the future of Linux aren’t just important for
Linux hobbyists. With computer companies such as IBM and Red Hat
staking their future on the Unix-like operating system, Torvalds’s
prognostications are the closest thing Linux has to a product road
map…”
“Torvalds recently reworked the Linux development strategy for
the next release of the current kernel of Linux…as a result of
the faster and more modest philosophy, several fancier, high-end
features won’t be appearing until later upgrades of the Linux
kernel.”
