Install Linux Kernel 3.19 RC5 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, 14.10 and Linux mint 17 Qiana, 17.1 Rebecca

Linux kernel is the essential part of any Linux operating system. It is responsible for resource allocation, low-level hardware interfaces, security, simple communications, basic file system management, and more. Written from scratch by Linus Torvalds (with help from various developers), Linux is a clone of the UNIX operating system. It is geared towards POSIX and Single UNIX Specification compliances.

What New in 3.19 RC5 :

The arm64 vm bug that I mentioned as pending in the rc4 notes got fixed within a day of that previous rc release, and the rest looks pretty standard. Mostly drivers (networking, usb, scsi target, block layer, mmc, tty etc), but also arch updates (arm, x86, s390 and some tiny powerpc fixes), some filesystem updates (fuse and nfs), tracing fixes, and some perf tooling fixes.

Includes powerful features

Linux provides users with powerful features, such as true multitasking, multistack networking, shared copy-on-write executables, shared libraries, demand loading, virtual memory, and proper memory management.

Initially designed only for 386/486-based computers, now Linux supports a wide range of architectures, including 64-bit (IA64, AMD64), ARM, ARM64, DEC Alpha, MIPS, SUN Sparc, PowerPC, as well as Amiga and Atari machines.

The most essential component of a Linux-based OS

The most essential component of a Linux-based operating system is the Linux kernel. Without it, the entire system (libraries, applications, etc.) is useless. When creating a Linux distribution, it is also very important to know how to correctly optimize the Linux kernel package, in order to make it support certain hardware components or recognize a specific device.
