Subject: Linux 2.2.17
To: linux-kernel at vger.kernel.org
Date: 	Mon, 4 Sep 2000 19:53:14 +0100 (BST)

Ok Linux 2.2.17 official is now out. This is the same as 2.2.17pre20 without
the -pre20 id string

This is the version waiting Linus. Its in the queue for holy penguin pee so
either it will get peed on or I will get abuse from Linus depending whether
he likes it or not 8)

In the mean time I'm taking a break rescuing a rather buggy but otherwise
neat user space app. I'll start 2.2.18 in a couple of weeks.
