Parent article: CE Linux Forum Publishes Baseline Source Tree

Sorry for the delay. This is one of the first press releases of the
forum, and our processes were not, uhmmm.. well-coordinated.

The source and information about the tree is available at:
http://tree.celinuxforum.org/

To answer one of the other posts, we wish to NOT diverge (fork) and
will submit patches against kernel.org trees as the technologies are
refined and ratified by the forum.

Some of the technologies in the tree are backports (to 2.4.20) of
things already in 2.6 - like kernel preemption, the O(1) scheduler,
and a form of work queues. Some things are available separately,
but are not part of kernel.org yet (like high-resolution POSIX timers
and Dynamic Power Management). Other things are new, like a ram file
system that is robust against kernel failures, some improvements
in bootup time, and fixes to some existing-but-apparently-broken
features, like IDE "noprobe".

We'll be publishing more information about the various technologies
in this tree by the end of the year.
