Kernel Log: What's coming in 2.6.28 - Part 7: architecture support, memory
subsystem and virtualisation
,----[ Quote ]
| It's not just the audio drivers which have seen important changes during the
| second half of the development phase for 2.6.28 – there have also been
| significant developments relating to the various architectures supported by
| Linux, and in virtualisation technologies and memory management – which is
| one of the reasons why the Kernel Log is only reporting on these new features
| in the forthcoming version of Linux now, during the final phase of 2.6.28
| development.

OpenSolaris 2008.11 tested
,----[ Quote ]
| OpenSolaris 2008.11 does meet its stated aim of offering Linux users a
| familiar work environment. Installation from the live media does not require
| any knowledge of Solaris, and despite a few gaps in the hardware support,
| OpenSolaris should run smoothly on most computers. The current version has
| made considerable progress in terms of incorporating specific underlying
| Solaris features into the desktop, most notably the Time Slider, but also
| tools like the network manager, the WLAN applet and the improved package
| manager. It is now more suitable as an operating system for NAS filers, and
| for SAN storage.

| Two collections of patches (1, 2) proposed by the maintainer of the Direct
| Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) have incorporated numerous graphics hardware
| support improvements into the main development branch. This is the
| development branch which will produce Linux version 2.6.28 at the end of this
| year or at the beginning of next year.

Kernel Log: New Atheros WLAN drivers and stable kernels, radeon vs. radeonhd
,----[ Quote ]
| Linux Wi-Fi specialist and developer Luis R. Rodriguez, who has worked for
| Atheros for several months now, has announced the release of the Otus driver
| under the ISC open source licence. This driver for Atheros UB81, UB82 and
| UB83 802.11n USB Wi-Fi chips has been released to have it integrated into the
| main development branch of Linux as soon as possible. That this approach can
| work very well was already demonstrated by ath9k. The kernel hackers
| integrated it into the main development branch that recently produced Linux
| 2.6.27 only a few weeks after its release in July. As the next versions of
| Fedora, OpenSuse and Ubuntu will come with this kernel version, all three
| will also include ath9k.
