Linux 3.10 Officially Released

Posted by timothy on from the busy-weekend dept.

hypnosec writes with word that "The Linux 3.10 kernel has been officially released on Sunday evening which makes the 3.10-rc7 the last release candidate of the latest kernel which yields the biggest changes in years. Linus Torvalds was thinking of releasing another rc but, went against the idea and went ahead with official Linux 3.10 commit as anticipated last week. Torvalds notes in the announcement that releases since Linux 3.9 haven't been prone to problems and 3.10 is no different."

      NSA employee here. I checked the IP address and it was actually posted by someone working at Google. His name is Dave and judging by his browser history, he seems to enjoy gay scat porn. His cell phone location logs shows unusual late night visits to known glory holes. He stays there for 1-3 hours at a time, so I guess we know which side of the wall he sits on. I'd I've already hit my daily quote PRISM quota.

      3.14 will be the 'geek' release the mainstream press will notice.

      Note to kernel team: so try not to screw that one up.

    GNU Hurd is going to reach stable status very soon! At that point, Linux will be essentially obsolete.

      M-x term
      vi

    But... but... but he had me going for a minute there! He had me convinced ATI had better Linux support than Nvidia! Now you go and ruins it. Thanks a lot.
