| Dozens of network-attached storage (NAS) servers and other consumer
| appliances are about to gain mainline kernel and Debian GNU/Linux support.
| The 2.6.25 kernel, currently in the final stages of testing, will support
| Marvell's Feroceon micro-architecture and "Orion" SoCs, with Debian support
| close behind, sources say.
|
| Yesterday, Linus Torvalds launched release candidate 7 (rc7) for the 2.6.25
| kernel, commenting, "Give it a good testing, because we're hopefully now well
| on our way towards that eventual real 2.6.25 release!" The comment suggests
| the newest kernel could well launch this week.
