[R] LotR:RotK + Linux 2.6.0 on the same day

[Douglas Bates]

Wednesday saw the release of both the movie "Lord of the Rings: Return
of the King" (LotR:RotK) and the Linux 2.6.0 kernel.  Those who enjoy
geek humor should read the discussion on slashdot.org from people who are
lost in the agonies of trying to decide whether to go see the movie or
to compile the new kernel first.  

I have been running 2.6.0-test11 on a machine for several weeks and it
is very good.  The configuration/compiling process is much cleaner
than in previous versions of the kernel and I really like the support
for ATAPI optical drives.
