Linux Linux creator Linus Torvalds has released version 2.6.26 of the Linux kernel after a lengthy three-month development stretch since the 2.6.25 release involving nine release candidates. In announcing the release on the Linux Kernel Mailing List, Torvalds said the 87 days since 2.6.25 makes 2.6.26 a longer-than-usual release cycle. Torvalds said the changes from release candidate (RC) 9 are small, with the bulk (80 percent) being documentation updates.

IBM's got to be a bit miffed at the moment, considering that this is in direct competition with their own proprietary hypervisor to run dozens of Linux instances under.


Doubt it. Most mainframe shops probably run more than linux. All IBM has to do is say zOS is only supported under VM, and that's that.

I suppose there are some linux-only mainframe shops, but I need to see a couple of cases where $100,000 per processor hardware makes sense in a linux-only shop before I believe it's more than just a good way for IBM salespeople to make Porsche payments.
