2.6.27 kernel and Russian painters
A new 2.6.27-based OpenVZ branch is opened, and the first 2.6.27-based OpenVZ is released.
An idea of using names instead of numbers for kernel releases is working for 2.6.26, and we decided to have some fun with 2.6.27 kernels, too. These kernels are [to be] named after famous Russian painters, of course in the alphabetical order.
First 2.6.27 OpenVZ kernel is named after Ivan Konstantinovich Aivazovsky. Aivazovsky is a great painter and I’d love to add a link to some of his masterpieces here, but while trying to find a good reproduction of “The Ninth Wave” I realized that a typical notebook/PC is incapable of displaying such art. Then you try to fit a 2×3 meters painting into a 22″ computer screen, nothing good is to be expected. Even in case of high resolution copy stored in a lossless format you either see a full picture but details are lost, or you see some part of it with all the details but then you don’t see the full picture. So be aware that a painting that you see online is a pathetic shadow of what you can enjoy in a real (i.e. offline) museum or art gallery.
The 2.6.27-aivazovsky kernel, on the other side, is perfect for you PC, so enjoy.
