Linux Kernel v3.3.6, v3.2.17, v3.1.10 (EOL), v3.0.27, v2.6.39.4, v2.4.37.11

The Linux kernel is an operating system kernel used by the Linux family of Unix-like operating systems. It is one of the most prominent examples of free and open source software.

The Linux kernel is released under the GNU General Public License version 2 (GPLv2) (plus some firmware images with various non-free licenses), and is developed by contributors worldwide. Day-to-day development discussions take place on the Linux kernel mailing list.

A Look at Linux 3.1

Just three months after the Linux kernel pushed the odometer past the 3.0 milestone, Linus Torvalds has pushed out another stable kernel. The 3.1 Linux kernel has several new features, additional hardware support, and a little help for programs that were hard-wired for the 2.6.x numbering scheme.

Microsoft Wishes Linux a Happy 20th Birthday

The video comically depicts the rivalry between Linux and Windows, but concludes with the suggestion that peaceful coexistence is possible.

Linux 3.0 Released

Linux 3.0 has been released. Technically, the release of version 3.0 of the Linux kernel shouldn’t be too eventful, since the jump in version number doesn’t actually signify any huge change or whatever; the only reason behind the bump to 3.0 is to come to saner version numbering. Still, man, it’s like, totally version 3 of the Linux kernel.

So yeah, the year of Linux on the desktop never came, but in its place came a lot of other, possibly far more impressive stuff. The year of Linux on the server – dominating. The year of Linux on smartphones – Linux is godlike here. The year of Linux on high-performance computing – Linux aced this market. And a whole load of other things, like embedded uses for Torvalds’ baby.
