You might call your car Betty, that doesn't mean it's made by the Betty Corporation nor that the model is Betty. It's simply what people call it. Just like in Texas Hold'Em, if you get two aces before the flop people call them "American Airlines" (AA), that doesn't make it the official name. So yes, linux-2.6.8.tar.gz is vanilla. linux-2.6.8-mm1.tar.gz isn't vanilla. Vanilla simply means "standard" or "unpatched" or "Linus Edition". // Stefan -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (MingW32) iD8DBQFDSkXSBrn2kJu9P78RAhReAKCEt7qRWqtcfhYP68jrX/BkFWIEpACeLV6d ZdjcTuDKFDcZbcycFBuj3no= =7TJb -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | |||||||||
