Hello,
I am looking for one synthetic summary of all the main new features and improvements which found their way in the 2.6xx (and maybe 2.4.xx too) kernels since the beginning of 2005.
Does something like this exist? I know the detailed changelogs are online, but I don't need *all* those details.
If a summary doesn't exist: what would *you* list as main feature/ improvement? Just the feature name is OK, I can find and study it myself afterwards.
Thank you in advance for any feedback,
Marco

You could do worse than look through http://lwn.net/Kernel/ and http://lwn.net/Kernel/Index/, which links to detailed, readable explanations of what's been happening and why.
Hope this helps,
