Linux 2.6.29 Kernel Released; Hello KMS and Btrfs
With much anticipation, the Linux 2.6.29 kernel was released just moments ago by Linus Torvalds. Besides introducing an interim logo to stand-in for Tux, the Linux 2.6.29 kernel most notably introduces support for kernel mode-setting on Intel hardware. Also in the graphics realm are a few updates to the Graphics Execution Manager and DRM updates for various pieces of hardware.
Also making the Linux 2.6.29 kernel exciting is that it brings support for Btrfs. Btrfs is the next-generation Linux file-system, but it's still in development so do not expect it to be the default on any Linux distribution in the immediate future.
