Extracted from the release notice for those that can't be bothered having a look The 2.4 kernel contains several improvements. For desktop use, the most notable improvement is support for the multitude of printers, digital cameras, scanners, keyboards, mice, network cards, modems, Zip drives and other devices that plug into the universal serial bus port. For server use, the most significant changes are improvements that will let Linux take better advantage of systems with multiple processors--a key feature for spreading Linux into more powerful servers. What's new in Linux 2.4: . Support for three new architectures: IA64 (Itanium), S/390 IBM mainframes and SuperH (chips embedded in many Windows CE handhelds) . Support for processors faster than 2 GHz (Intel expected to deliver this in the third quarter of 2001; AMD in the first quarter of 2002) . Better linear symmetric multiprocessing scalability . Ability to address up to 64 GB of physical memory on Intel-based servers . Support for USB drivers, 3-D accelerated graphics cards for desktop systems Source: Linux distributors ----- Original Message ----- From: "Oliver Ob" <ob_ok@gmx.net> To: "John Ross Hunt" <bigboote@mediaone.net> Cc: <suse-linux-e@suse.com> Sent: Saturday, January 06, 2001 9:25 AM Subject: [SLE] [o.b.] Re: [SLE] 2.4 released

Can anyone from SuSE tell us if an update for 7.0 will happen, or do we
have
to wait until 7.1 is released?
What exactly has been updated and it the update worth it?
