Written by Michael Larabel in Linux Kernel on 7 August 2008 at 07:45 AM EDT. Add A Comment

The Linux 2.6.27-rc1 kernel was released nine days ago, but replacing that today is the second RC kernel in the 2.6.27 series. The Linux 2.6.27-rc2 kernel has "a lot of random changes" as described by Linus Torvalds himself. Mostly this second release candidate has the usual driver changes as well as updates to the EXT4 and XFS file-systems. The Linux 2.6.27-rc2 release announcement can be read on LKML.org.
