It is out, the official site is of course kernel.org, but be sure to check your local mirrors (usually www.country.kernel.org). Here is the long Changelog, major changes include suspend-to-RAM, more IDE and VFS fixes, and kbuild. Linux Weekly has the news too, and a summary of the changes."

    but www.thegreatestnationever.kernel.org (amerika) didn't work...

    i even tried
    www.thebestnation.kernel.org
    www.americaforever .kernel.org
    www.theonefreecountry.kernel.org
    www .withusoragainstus.kernel.org
    www.ourpresidentcan smilebetterthanyourscan.kernel. org
    www.ourpresidenthasmoreprivatewealththanyours .kern el.org
    and www.thecountrywherethebestofeverythingcomesfrom.ke rnel.org

    none of them worked!

    what kind of pathetic mirror system is this? no wonder no one ever uses any of the mirrors.

    stupid IT people...

    Yeah, really... yet another Linux development kernel is out... BFD. Should I post something every time OpenBSD makes a few changes to their kernel?

    I know! I'll submit an article whenever Microsoft releases a hotfix! That's certainly more important news than Linux, whose userbase pales in comparison to Windows'.

    And for some more "News for people who thinks /. is Freshmeat. Stuff that nobody else cares about," NetBSD recently branched off version 1.6. Ooh, ahh.

    Well bully for you. Perhaps you should be reading LinuxToday as well as Slashdot if you want to read when kernels are released.
