ProMEPIS adds new kernel to latest beta... but at a price    Monday, January 10 2005 @ 05:29 PM EST Contributed by: glosser Beta 4 of ProMEPIS has been released. It appears the MEPIS team has been forced to make some tough decisions with this release. MEPIS has announced the release of beta 04 of ProMEPIS Linux, based on Linux kernel 2.6.10. The new kernel adds "many hardware and performance improvements, yet it comes at a price," according to MEPIS developer Warren Woodford. What price? "MEPIS was slow to introduce a newer kernel due to instabilities caused by restrictive policy and code changes introduced by the kernel team after 2.6.7," Woodford says. "The changes have raised the bar for Linux distro developers, because it is necessary to recode some third party drivers and abandon others, including the unfortunate loss of the Philips WebCam driver."
