The term "vanilla" is short for "plain vanilla", which means lacking in adornments or extra features. It is derived from the use of vanilla as a basic flavor in deserts to which other optional flavors may be added. For the kernel, vanilla simply refers to Linus' kernel with no extra patches applied to it. Example: 2.6.13 is a vanilla kernel 2.6.13-rt3 is not (it's vanilla 2.6.13 + rt patches) - Jim Bruce - 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/ | |||||||||
