It has been a while since I've been excited and anxious for a new Linux kernel to be released, think the last time was the 2.2 to the 2.4 because it added SMP capabilities. Now I am really looking forward to the 2.6.38 kernel for the new scheduling feature which from everything I've read is going to increase desktop performance. Here are some links worth checking out:

Maybe this and the new window system Wayland desktop Linux might have a real chance of taking over Microsoft's control of the desktop or at least putting a dent into it.
