• (ADB) Linus would be the best person to ask, but I don’t know if he would have the time and patience to answer this question. There are some development issues that can be mentioned, though: • PnP support in the kernel. Right now one can get PnP support using the isapnptools user space package and manually tuning the I/O, IRQ and DMA channel allocation, but future Linux kernels will do that for you. • Improved SMP support. • Improved 64 bit code support. • Improved POSIX support. • Improved APM support.
