| Linux kernel 2.6.23 released with a wee bit of controversy |
|---|
Another update of the Linux kernel slipped out this week with a new process scheduler, virtualization options and a wee bit of controversy to boot.
Linux 2.6.23, which was released October 9, incorporates a new process scheduler called the Completely Fair Scheduler that gives more CPU horsepower to applications that are more user interactive but that also ensures (through a “fairness” engine) reasonable CPU resources are allocated to ordinary running tasks.
