Linux Kernel 3.1 RC 2 Released

Posted by timothy on from the thank-you-linus dept.

sfcrazy writes "Linus Torvalds has announced the release of Linux kernel 3.1 rc2. He said '300+ commits for -rc2 is good, but please make me even happier for -rc3 by ONLY sending me real fixes. Think of it as "fairly late in the -rc series," because I really want to compensate for the merge window being fairly chaotic.'"

    .. the difference between 3.0 and 3.1 is the same as something like 2.6.24 to 2.6.25

    Plus after 3.1 there will be "3.1 for Workgroups".

    Ha Ha Ha. Laugh it up Mr. Funnyman. The extra 5% boost I get out of these optimizations is going to blow your god damn socks off.
