Kernel Release Status
The current development kernel is 2.6.0-test11; there has been no
development kernel release since November 26. Linus continues to
accumulate small, critical patches in his BitKeeper repository, but appears
to be waiting for Andrew Morton to return to the scene for the preparation
of the next release, be it another -test kernel or the real 2.6.0.
Andrew did release 2.6.0-test11-mm1 on December 17. The -mm tree now contains a full 300 patches, ranging from small fixes to new drivers and major subsystem work. Andrew has indicated that at least some of the patches in -mm will find their way into the mainline after 2.6.0 comes out. The current stable kernel is 2.4.23; Marcelo has not released any 2.4.24 prepatches since 2.4.24-pre1 on December 10. (Log in to post comments)

Linux 2.6.0 released Posted Dec 18, 2003 16:33 UTC (Thu) by proski (subscriber, #104) [Link] It seems something is wrong with the US servers. www.us.kernel.org resolves to 20 IP addresses, and at least some of them don't have the 2.6.0 kernel. Now the main site has become more responsive, so here's a working link.
