    With the first pre-release, it is now confirmed that Linux 3.8 will include the F2FS filesystem, a graphics driver for NVIDIA Tegra, and foundations for balanced process placement in NUMA systems, and that support for Intel 386 chips has been dropped.

  • Kernel Log: Coming in 3.8 (Part 2) - Infrastructure
    Users not in possession of root privileges will in future be able to set up containers in which to run software which requires them. Linux 3.8 will, under certain circumstances, use less memory and will include improvements for NUMA systems. Support for Intel's 386 chips has been dropped.
