File system, power and instrumentation: Can Linux close its technical gaps? (LinuxWorld)

Don Marti provides a nice overview of the state of the Linux Kernel in advance of the Linux Foundation's Collaboration Summit June 13-15. He quotes extensively from Andrew Morton and Linus Torvalds about parts of the kernel which need improvement. "In an e-mail message, project founder Linus Torvalds says he agrees that the file system and power management need to work. The latter, he says, is part of a bigger problem with device drivers that basically work but don't implement advanced features. But, Torvalds says, the simple instrumentation Linux already has is enough to deal with real-world performance issues."
