Linux 2.6.28-rc3 Kernel Released

Written by Michael Larabel in Linux Kernel on 2 November 2008 at 08:13 PM EST. 2 Comments

In time for some Sunday afternoon testing, Linus Torvalds has announced the third release candidate for the Linux 2.6.28 kernel. While driver updates usually make up most of the churn in new test kernels, with Linux 2.6.28-rc3 about two-thirds of the changes are from architecture work. The remaining work is between kernel drivers and other areas. With the new kernel, Linus is particularly interested in users testing out the new resource handing changes. The Linux 2.6.28-rc3 kernel release announcement can be read at LKML.org.
