dewy Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 Linus Torvalds released the final 2.6.1 Linux kernel. This release has a lot of changes since 2.6.0, many things have been merged from the -mm tree. This release includes a patch for the mremap() vulnerability too. After releasing this Linus will be in Australia for the week, Linus explains: "I'm going to be in Australia (and on airplanes) for the week, but we're all in the capable hands of Andrew, so why worry? The fact that I'm fleeing the country should in no way be construed as anything sinister at all, no siree. Nope. I'm innocent, and nobody saw me do it." http://www.kernel.org/mirrors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MulletRobZ Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 I'll think about trying out one of the 2.6.x kernels as soon as I get the chance. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
