Linux Kernel 2.6.24 Released

Posted by Soulskill on Thursday January 24, 2008 @08:34PM from the new-toys dept.

LinuxFan writes "Linus Torvalds has released the 2.6.24 Linux Kernel, noting that he and most of the other key Linux developers will be flying to a conference in Australia for the next week. As the whole team will be down under while the kernel is being tested by the masses, Linus added, "Let's hope it's a good one". What's new in the latest release includes an optimized CFQ scheduler, numerous new wireless drivers, tickless kernel support for the x86-64 and PPC architectures, and much more. Time to download and start compiling."

Next "stable" release? by Spazmania · 2008-01-25 02:10 · Score: 0, Flamebait

When is the next "stable" release, a la 2.6.16? I got fed up with the earlier 2.6 kernels and have been sticking with 2.6.16 until there is another release in which the devs make another serious attempt at stability.
