Linux After two months of development, Linux 2.6.20 has been released. This release includes two different virtualization implementations: KVM: full-virtualization capabilities using Intel/AMD virtualization extensions and a paravirtualization implementation usable by different hypervisors. Aditionally, 2.6.20 includes PS3 support, a fault injection debugging feature, UDP-lite support, better per-process IO accounting, relative atime, relocatable x86 kernel, some x86 microoptimizations, lockless radix-tree readside, shared pagetables for hugetbl, and many other things. Read the list of changes for details.

hmm, impressive indeed.

still, there would be the chance of it going from crash to crash. thereby getting nothing done as the kernel is to occupied firing up a new version of itself to take over for the old.

But this is fairly simple to test for. If it happens, the system can just die like it does now.
