“The next version of the heart of the Linux operating system is expected by June, project founder and leader Linus Torvalds predicted on Thursday.
Scheduling the arrival of open-source software can be difficult given the informality of the collaborative programming process and the programmers’ reluctance to release code that’s not up to snuff. Indeed, version 2.4 of Linux arrived months later than hoped. But Torvalds and other key developers adopted a more structured approach for transforming the 2.5 “development” branch of the OS to the 2.6 version intended for real-world use.”
