  19. Some of the various things that Linux supports (such as network
  20. drivers, file systems, network protocols, etc.) can be in a state
  21. of development where the functionality, stability, or the level of
  22. testing is not yet high enough for general use. This is usually
  23. known as the "alpha-test" phase among developers. If a feature is
  24. currently in alpha-test, then the developers usually discourage
  25. uninformed widespread use of this feature by the general public to
  26. avoid "Why doesn't this work?" type mail messages. However, active
  27. testing and use of these systems is welcomed. Just be aware that it
  28. may not meet the normal level of reliability or it may fail to work
  29. in some special cases. Detailed bug reports from people familiar
  30. with the kernel internals are usually welcomed by the developers
  31. (before submitting bug reports, please read the documents
  32. <file:README>, <file:MAINTAINERS>, <file:REPORTING-BUGS>,
  33. <file:Documentation/BUG-HUNTING>, and
  34. <file:Documentation/oops-tracing.txt> in the kernel source).
  35. This option will also make obsoleted drivers available. These are
  36. drivers that have been replaced by something else, and/or are
  37. scheduled to be removed in a future kernel release.
  38. Unless you intend to help test and develop a feature or driver that
  39. falls into this category, or you have a situation that requires
  40. using these features, you should probably say N here, which will
  41. cause the configurator to present you with fewer choices. If
  42. you say Y here, you will be offered the choice of using features or
  43. drivers that are currently considered to be in the alpha-test phase.

  131. that process will be appended to the file by the kernel. The
  132. information includes things such as creation time, owning user,
  133. command name, memory usage, controlling terminal etc. (the complete
  134. list is in the struct acct in <file:include/linux/acct.h>). It is

  145. with previous v0/v1/v2 file formats, so you will need updated tools
