OSDL Data Center Linux first release

The OSDL Data Center Linux Project has set out to:

Develop and evangelize the roadmap for a Linux platform software that supports commercial software products and corporate IT requirements, enabling developers to create Linux based solutions for the data center market segment.

If that does not contain enough marketing-speak for you, there are white papers available on the project web site. For the rest of us, what may be of more interest is the first DCL kernel release, 2.5.44-dcl1. In addition to a few fixes, this patch includes the Linux Kernel Crash Dump patch, EVMS, an enhanced NUMA scheduler, and a few other tweaks. The project plans to add the shared page table and high-resolution timers patches before too long. The -dcl patches will show up in the "kernel trees" part of the patches section at the bottom of this page.
