Torvalds Releases Latest Version of Linux Kernel 3.2

By: Chester Roebling / on: 01-06-2012

Linus Torvalds has announced the official release of Linux 3.2, the latest kernel version for Linux operating systems. It features file-system improvements including support for Ext4 block sizes up to 1 MB, and quicker scrubbing with Btrfs. In addition, Linux 3.2 also upgraded the process scheduler functions, improved thin provisioning capabilities in accordance with Device Mapper, improved desktop responsiveness for large write-backs, and up to date drivers for graphics and WiFi: all great news for those running a Linux dedicated server.

Torvalds made the announcement on January 4th, and stated that it was a few days later than expected. However, given the timetable on recent releases of kernels such as 3.1, it was relatively on time. In comparison, the kernel prior to this release was several weeks late because of malware intrusions by hackers on the kernels main systems. Hopefully Torvalds and his team can keep up this pace so that low cost dedicated server solutions running Linux can remain up to date and functional.
