Very Computer

Greetings,

As of this writing, the latest versions of XFree86 are at
version 3.1.2D. The Linux Kernel V1.3.95 has been out since the 15th of April.

As for XFree86, I haven't seen support for the Matrox board. I was
hoping to ask MetroLink if they would provide this information. If
you want to take a look at the new XFree86 then its on
(ftp://ftp.xfree86.com).

The latest patch, version 1.3.95, of Linux os always on
(http://www.linux.org). Some people have already installed it on
their systems. Since it is a new patch,
I don't know how stable it is in comparison to the others. But, I did
want to make a note on the numerous patches.

Why can't we consolidate these patches??? It seems harder to test
multiple patches than two or three.
Isn't there a better solution to this? Let's make a
solid update per every 10 patches. If you have version
1.3.20, then the next solid patch is 1.3.30. You can have a
preliminary patch every five patches. This just
makes a downloads easier after twenty patches get released.

Just an opinion. Maybe I'll wait on a solid release of
version 1.4, before I upgrade the kernel again.

This information is in the Linux FAQ's you know.

If you feel that patching up 10 levels by running 10 files through
patch(1) is too difficult, you grab the whole source-tree file. If
you prefer to get just the patch, you install that.

Not terribly difficult, is it ?

Linus already has enough to worry about - don't ask him to provide
more files per release than are already being done.
