The Wonderful World of Linux 2.6

Joseph Pranevich takes a comprehensive look at the new features in Linux 2.6. Some of the more interesting ones include better support for embedded systems, better support for large servers, support for Pentium 4 HT Hyper-Threading technologies, and changes to make the system more responsive (good for desktop users). Also, the Linux 2.6 kernel is finally preemptible, the I/O subsystem has undergone major changes, and it supports a much wider range of hardware. For laptop users, Linux 2.6 finally supports software-suspend-to-disk and the ability to change processor speed (and power requirements) based on whether your system is plugged in or not. Very interesting reading.
