Linus Torvalds preannuncia Linux 2.6 beta

Dopo avere mancato la scadenza di Giugno, Torvalds ha dichiarato che Linux 2.6 beta sarà sui nastri di partenza a giorni:

"I'm planning on starting the so-called 'pre-2.6' series in early July, and that is kind of a beta series," Torvalds said Wednesday in an interview. He and Andrew Morton, the programmer who will maintain the 2.6 version, "are talking about starting a pre-2.6 series next week," Torvalds said.

"It will most likely take a few months after that for the real 2.6.0," he said. "And, as usual, the thing doesn't stop there. It usually takes at least half a year before vendors really switch over."

In effetti, IBM dichiara di prevedere di commercializzare dei prodotti basati sul kernel della futura versione 2.6 di Linux nella prima metà del 2004.
