'Old' Linux Kernels Keep Coming
For many in the world, it's the time of year for wrapping up the old and moving ahead with the new. That's not necessarily the case for Linux, though. For the Linux kernel, what's old is new again with the new releases of the 2.6.16.37 and 2.4.34 kernels.
The current Linux kernel, version 2.6.19, was released at the end of November and work is ongoing for an early 2007 release of the 2.6.20 kernel. But that's not stopping developers from putting out releases of older Linux kernels.
Currently both the 2.4.x Linux kernel and the 2.6.16.y kernel are being actively maintained, and both legacy kernels have recently released new updates.
Adrian Bunk, the maintainer of the Linux 2.6.16.y kernel, officially released the [2.6.16.37] release today.
