  Greg Kroah-Hartman, del Linux Driver Project, ha escrito acerca de ciertas preocupaciones sobre Android y la comunidad del kernel Linux. Explica porqué el código de Android ha sido eliminado del espacio "de ensayo" (o "staging") del repositorio de kernel.org. Básicamente es que Google no muestra signos de interés por mantener su código en sincronía con la rama principal. Hay que adaptar su sistema de seguridad, un mecanismo de bloqueos, y una infraestructura de drivers del framebuffer. Hace unos meses pudimos leer ciertas críticas a Android por haber tirado a la basura montones de código habitual en sistemas Linux, para hacer uso de sistemas propios que implementan pobremente (dispositivos y permisos "hardcoded", soporte incompleto de IPC o hilos POSIX, etc.). ¿Creéis que Google se está separando progresivamente de los sistemas Linux habituales, primero en el espacio de usuario, y ahora en el núcleo?

  blog.eracc.com: You know the type. The technical reporter that tries to do something on GNU/Linux, cannot figure it out and thus states to the planet the equivalent of Chicken Little saying, “The sky is falling!”, regarding GNU/Linux.

  Tags:  Linux  

  It started with the hints of death of my Dell XPS 1330, a pattern I found discussed in a few forums online … the pattern is, first the adapter no longer is recognized as serving the appropriate wattage. (Which powers the laptop, but at a lower CPU rate and will not charge the battery. Bought a replacement adapter, and it worked for nearly a week, when it, too, failed with the dreaded message upon boot up. The next pattern is overheating, then motherboard failure. So, I began my quest for a replacement.
