Gone are the 2.6. days, Linux 3.0 is out
Here is what most of linux lovers were waiting for. Linux 3.0 is released today and available for download also. Recently I saw it on Linus Torvalds Google+ account. Before this I saw Linus Torvalds saying-
Pushing out Linux 3.0-rc7
I could probably just have called it 3.0, but there’s a few nagging things left, notably a boot-time RCU hang that apparently hit two people. Paul is working on it. So we’ll have at least one more -rc.
The Linux 3.0 kernel would have been released as the Linux 2.6.40 kernel, until the developers decided to end the 2.6 series and move forward with the 3.x series.
New features of the Linux 3.0 are file-system Cleancache support, initial Intel Ivy Bridge support, better open-source kernel graphics drivers, and many other hardware driver enhancements.
