  1. My only hope

    Is that there will be a fine graned code review!
    Adding backdoors to kernel krypto would make Linux a dream OS for a lot of people out there!

    It's a real shame! Twice a shame on Red Hat!

    What happened to the plain old English?

    While in the past ... they were doing it in person.
    So the announcement is: Canonical is not even doing the GNOME distro any more. And they already kicked the KDE distro 1 year ago.

    Important breakthrough

    and innovation from Canonical!
    C'mon, guys! You are focusing too much on the fluff.
    Please, bring first the distribution to an almost-zarro-bugs state. And then spend your time in official color...

    Yeah! System administration is not the same as normal user activities. And when the going gets tough, the tough gets going. We need the plain old kernel consoles. Being that on local console (aka...

    I think about all those cases when the system is not fully booted. I use to get a few cases a year (on a dozen of test servers). I go to the server room, I switch the console and see. I usually do...

    Correct, but then you need extra hardware (a PC and/or a console server and/or a serial adapter) in order to troubleshoot a boot process! Serial consoles are quite useful, indeed. Still I don't see...

    That sounds quite stupid to me

    And I admit I could be badly wrong.
    So I need some hints to lower my stupidity.

    Zeroth question: what's a kernel console for?
    It serves mainly to two purposes. To provide some booting...

    I don't dare to install beta stuff on my PC as it's daily production.

    +1. But what about fixes? Would you prefer to wait until next release?
    IMHO, "release it when it's ready" is OK as far as bug fixes first go to the current one and only later to the next one....
