Linux 3.12 Codenamed "Suicidal Squirrel"

Posted by timothy on from the ssd-drive-just-couldn't-live-with-itself dept.

First time accepted submitter noahfecks writes "After the Linux 3.11 kernel was codenamed 'Linux for Workgroups' in memory of Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.11, Linus Torvalds is using 'Suicidal Squirrel' as the Linux 3.12 kernel codename." Seems only fitting. (The list of kernel names should reflect this soon.)
