Linux 2.6.24-rc1 Kernel Released

Written by Michael Larabel in Linux Kernel on 24 October 2007 at 10:47 AM EDT. 2 Comments

Last night Linus Torvalds pushed out the Linux 2.6.24-rc1 Kernel, which is one large development release. Compressed, there are 11MB worth of changes, which is over twice the usual amount. These changes consist of x86 merges, a ton of new drivers (especially wireless networking), architecture improvements, file-system work, and other changes. This is one hell of a release! More details can be found in the 2.6.24-rc1 announcement.
