Stable Linux Kernel 2.6.10 Released

Posted by timothy on from the and-to-all-a-good-night dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Offering it as 'something to play with over the holidays,' Linus Torvalds released the official 2.6.10 Linux kernel, which he named the 'Woozy Numbat.' KernelTrap offers the full details, noting that there have been minimal changes since the last release candidate, 2.6.10-rc3. Linus commented that with 2.6.10 released, now he could 'get into the Glögg for real' (a hot mulled wine with spices, red wine, port and brandy). As always, the latest Linux kernel can be downloaded from a kernel.org mirror." (Here are some recipes, too.)

    Remember to put a piece of metal silverware into each of of your glasses before you pour your glögg in. If you forget, they'll all crack from the sudden heat.

    And don't forget to rerun lilo afterwards. ; )

      This is why the linux kernel needs a breathalyzer driver.

      Oh word. Judging by previous experiences in (highly) inebriated system administration I may well spell "make menuconfig" as "rm -rf /". This, while funny at the time would make for a very . . . interesting hangover.

    Don't forget to compile in the designated driver.

    Well, this just goes to show Linux isn't 100% perfect: Even with all the great programs for Linux, even Linus sometimes needs to use WINE for something. :) /ducks fanboys and humorless mods
