The 2.6.33 kernel is out

The 2.6.33 kernel is out

[Kernel] Posted Feb 24, 2010 20:11 UTC (Wed) by corbet

At last, Linus has released the 2.6.33 kernel. "The most noticeable features in 2.6.33 are likely the Nouveau and DRBD integration (and a _lot_ more people will notice the Nouveau part of that). And the Radeon KMS parts aren't considered experimental any more. Oh, and the AS IO scheduler is gone, since keeping it around and just causing confusion seemed to not be worth it any more. You're supposed to use CFQ instead." Other interesting stuff in 2.6.33 includes dynamic tracing, the block I/O bandwidth controller, and the compressed cache mechanism.

The best place for information on new kernel releases is KernelNewbies, and the KernelNewbies 2.6.33 page (which is working again) does not disappoint.
