Linux kernel 2.6.33 released
Linus Torvalds has released version 2.6.33 of the Linux kernel just two and a half months after the release of Linux 2.6.32. Like it's predecessors, the new kernel in the Linux main development line has thousands of improvements, such as an open source driver for GeForce graphics hardware, support for the kernel-based mode setting (KMS), the DRBD (Distributed Replicated Block Device) replication solution and support for the Trim ATA command, as well as several new and updated drivers.
Detailed information on these and the other important new features of Linux 2.6.33 are available in an in-depth article on The H Open:
