[$] The Boxee Box: too free to live?
It may still be difficult to wander into a local electronics retailer and
come away with a desktop system running Linux. But there is likely no
shortage of Linux-based devices on sale in that store; one needs only
wander past the Linux-based phones and cameras to the shelf where the
networked video players live. Linux dominates on such devices, but, as the recent
history of the Boxee Box shows, "Linux inside" does not necessarily mean
"free" or that the device has a future. | | 9:01p |
Kernel prepatch 3.7-rc2 The 3.7-rc2 kernel prepatch is out. " Anyway, it's been roughly a week, and -rc2 is out. The most
noticeable thing tends to be fixing various fallout issues - there's lots
of patches to finish up (and fix the fallout) from the UAPI include file
reorganization, for example, but there's also some changes to how module
signing is done etc etc." |
