Linux 2.6.25-rc2 Kernel Released

Posted by Michael Larabel on February 16, 2008

In what can be viewed as a very positive message, Linus Torvalds has announced the Linux 2.6.25-rc2 kernel and that the Linux 2.6.25 kernel will be part of the Weasel series. Furthermore, Linus noted that the release cycle for the 2.6.25 kernel should be much shorter than what was experienced with Linux 2.6.24. Updated in the Linux 2.6.25-rc2 kernel are architecture and driver (mostly network) updates. The release announcement can be read at LKML.org.
