Latest Kernel 4.10 RC3 Released, Available For Ubuntu / Linux Mint
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.
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.
After being slow around New Year's, Linux 4.10-rc3 is back to regularly scheduled programming. Linus noted in this evening's announcement, "After a quiet period like that, I tend to expect abigger chunk just because of pent up work, but I guess the short break there really was vacation for everybody, and so instead we're just seeing normal rc behavior. It still feels a bit smaller than a usual rc3, but for the first real rc after the merge window (ie I'd compare it to a regular rc2), it's fairly normal. The stats look textbook for the kernel: just under 2/3rds drivers, with almost half of the rest arch updates, and the rest being 'misc' (mainly filesystems and networking)."
