Linked by Rahul on Thu 20th Nov 2008 04:31 UTC
Linux Arjan van de Ven from Intel Open source centre has posted the news that http://kerneloops.org has recorded its 100,000 oops. An oops in the Linux kernel is a deviation from correct behavior of the Linux kernel which produces a certain error log. kerneloops is a client side software that helps record oops more automatically on the website with the same name and is available as part of many distribution repositories and even included by default in Fedora. This is part of the QA efforts in the Linux kernel and when posting the news, Arjan has noted that Linux kernel developers have been fixes most of the top oopses quickly

Yes, the lack of peer review would definitely explain why nVidia has delivered the best OpenGL driver for Linux.

Most fully featured perhaps, but it's hardly the most stable driver, which is after all what's being discussed here.

Nvidia driver has bugs for years, seen what happened to kde 4 when tried to deliver a better accelerated desktop. You may say that was kde bug but there are proof on the contrary. If it was a open driver it would be fixed at the month
