New Year, New Linux Kernel
Fifteen years to the day since Linux creator Linus Torvalds bought the machine that started it all, the first new Linux kernel of the year has hit the street only two months after its predecessor hit.
In a mailing list posting, Torvalds said the changes in 2.6.15, "are really pretty much all over the place, with over four thousand commits merged in the two weeks since 2.6.14."
The 2.6.15 kernel went through seven release candidates before being issued, with the seventh appearing on Christmas Eve.
In total four major point releases of the 2.6 Linux Kernel were released in 2005.
