Enterprise realtime and cooperative developmentEnterprise realtime and cooperative developmentPosted Dec 5, 2007 22:04 UTC (Wed) by dsaxena42 (guest, #47380)Parent article: Enterprise realtime and cooperative development
I develop for a distro and we're all forking the kernel. No distro ships stock kernel.org as there is always some feature or HW support that is not yet upstream at the time a release needs to happen. It is completely idiotic for any distro to point fingers at another about the non-pistrine nature of their source but we're talking marketing here. Their job is to spread FUD and they will find every angle they can to attack their competitors.

Enterprise realtime and cooperative development Posted Dec 6, 2007 10:26 UTC (Thu) by Velmont (subscriber, #46433) [Link] Arch Linux also ships vanilla stock kernel. And I wouldn't call «putting in a few new patches» forking.:-)

Gentoo ? While Gentoo offers "vanilla-kernel" as alternative, it uses by default a patched kernel. See http://dev.gentoo.org/~dsd/genpatches for details.

Enterprise realtime and cooperative development Posted Dec 7, 2007 2:10 UTC (Fri) by jmmc (guest, #34939) [Link] I've recently brought up Slackware 12.0 on my laptop. I've found no evidence of patched kernel sources anywhere with any of the provided kernels. AFAIK, Slack has been and remains 'pure' kernel.org with it's releases.
