DevTeam’s very own planetbeing announced yesterday that the Linux 2.6 kernel was successfully ported for Apple’s iPhone and iPod touch platforms. Introducing, iPhone Linux!! It’s the beginning of a real alternative operating system. Currently, it’s only a first rough draft and there are many drivers missing. But it’s a start… They do not have wi
It was a matter of time for linux dev-hackers to have their favorite OS into the iPhone, this times has come and we are excited. Let’s hope Apple doesn’t break it in the next update, instead a formal support will be welcomed…

Product DescriptionIn order to thoroughly understand what makes Linux tick and why it works so well on a wide variety of systems, you need to delve deep into the heart of the kernel. The kernel handles all interactions between the CPU and the external world, and determines which programs will share processor time, in what order. It manages limited memory so well that hundreds of processes can shar
Já foi lançado a primeira actualização para o ramo do Linux Kernel 2.6.27.x. Esta actualização só inclui uma correcção de bug que consiste em desactivar o CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE que podia chegar a uma corrupção de memória no e1000.

Linux Kernel can be compiled in a machine for a different architecture. This is useful in fixing compilation issues for different architectures without actually using them.
Using ARCH option, the target architecture can be specified. It is also possible to specify the cross-compile toolchain through CROSS_COMPILE and specific compiler using CC options.
Example:

Many Linux newbies think that kernel recompilation is inherent and almost necessary thing to do after OS is just installed or some time later. By the following advices I would try to show these fellows in which situations this really makes sense and what to do if one persists
1. If you don't know why you should patch/recompile kernel - DO NOT DO THIS.
2. If your running kernel is smart and supports all necessary hardware, technologies and doesn't contain critical vulnerabilities - DO NOT REBUILD IT.
3. If you don't know what are kernel patches and why they are used - DO NOT REBUILD KERNEL.
4. If kernel with needed functionality is available as binary package for your distribution (especially in official repositories) - DO NOT BUILD KERNEL.
5. If you insist, certainly read Kernel HOWTO an

Los Kernel Linux afectados son desde la versión 2.6.17 hasta 2.6.24. Por el momento para solucionar el problema de seguridad, habría que compilar nuestro propio kernel eliminando vmsplice.
