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.)

  1. A helpful holiday reminder... by kngthdn · · Score: 5, Funny

    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. ; )

  2. Glogg by Ajmuller · · Score: 5, Informative

    Somewhat OT but Glogg, or Mulled Wine, is absolutely wonderful at the holidays. I generally make about 40 bottles of it and give it out as gifts. It's very well recieved people love it as a gift (as a rule, store 2-3 extra bottles in the car when you visit a party, you can never be sure who will show up). It also warms you up wonderfully when you come back from caroling or sleigh riding with the little ones.
    A major component of Glogg is Aquavit, this year I had two extra bottles of Aquavit left over, one bottle got spiced with apples & cinnamon, the other, whole Pomogrante seeds and slices of orange. Both are absolutely fabulous. After letting them mull for a few weeks freeze them inside a block of ice, the ice will freeze around the bottle and but the Aquavit will stay liquid and freezing cold all through your holiday party.

    First First Post, what a wonderful christmas present!

    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
