    openSUSE votes not to change its name
    The openSUSE project has been considering a
    name change     as part of its move into a separate foundation since (at
    least) June. A long and somewhat controversial vote of project members has
    just come to an end, and the result is conclusive: 225-42 against the name
    change.

    [$] Emulated iopl()
    Operating systems and computing hardware both carry a lot of their history
    with them. The x86 I/O-port mechanism is one piece of that history; it is
    rarely used by hardware designed in the last 20 years, but it must
    still be supported. That doesn't mean that this support can't be cleaned
    up and improved, though, especially when the old implementation turns out
    to have some unpleasant properties. An example can be seen in the
    iopl() patch set     from Thomas Gleixner.
