Not every vendor's kernel is the sameNot every vendor's kernel is the samePosted Dec 6, 2004 17:07 UTC (Mon) by andyo (subscriber, #30)Parent article: The Linux Kernel's Fuzzy Future (InformationWeek)
The kernel as released on kernel.org could look a lot different from a kernel installed from a distribution, too. It was hard to predict that Red Hat would release a 2.4 kernel with 2.6 features incorporated. And I'm not criticizing them for doing that, just saying it muddies predictions.

Not every vendor's kernel is the same Posted Dec 6, 2004 17:29 UTC (Mon) by corbet (editor, #1) [Link] One of the core ideas behind the current development model was to minimize the divergence between the mainline kernel and what the distributors ship. Getting features into the mainline reduces the temptation to backport them to older kernels.
