“Linux creator Linus Torvalds on Tuesday outlined his
near-term plans for Linux: smaller devices, shorter upgrade
cycles.”
“Speaking to an audience of 350 at a Bay Area Linux Users Group
meeting at the Four Seas Restaurant in San Francisco’s Chinatown,
Torvalds said the last Linux upgrade cycle took too long…”
“By contrast, the next version, 2.4, should have code freeze by
this fall…”
“small devices represent a great opportunity for Linux, he
said… now that small devices are being connected to networks,
they need to have many more capabilities.”
