,----[ Quote ]
| None other than the father of Linux, Linus
| Torvalds, announced last night, on December
| 2nd, the immediate availability for download
| of Linux kernel 2.6.32, a release that brings
| lots of improvements to the Btrfs filesystem,
| support for ACPI 4.0 and the S+core
| architecture, 3D and KMS support for the ATI
| Radeon R600/R700 graphics cards, support for
| Intel Moorestown, and many other goodies for
| all Linux users around the world.

What's new in Linux 2.6.32
,----[ Quote ]
| 3D support for newer Radeon graphics chips,
| better use of power saving features offered
| by the latest hardware and numerous
| enhancements to KVM and Btrfs are some of
| the outstanding items among the many
| thousands of changes undertaken for the
| latest kernel version. Various other
| improvements should also make Linux 2.6.32
| more reactive and as a result, feel faster.

Kernel Log: Coming in 2.6.32 (Part 6): Infrastructure
,----[ Quote ]
| Devtmpfs, aka 'devfs 2.0' to its
| detractors, should allow the Linux kernel
| to start faster and run without udev.
| Support has been added for ACPI 4.0 and
| there are two new make targets which
| generate kernel configurations attuned to
| the running system. Changes to the power
| management subsystem increase data
| throughput and allow better use of runtime
| power saving features on modern I/O
| devices.

Linux 2.6.32 Kernel Benchmarks
,----[ Quote ]
| With the Linux 2.6.32 kernel being released
| in a few days, we found it time to
| benchmark this newest kernel release that
| brings new drivers, kernel mode-setting
| improvements, virtualization enhancements,
| and more.
|
| [...]
|
| While there are just nine test results
| shown in this article, we have been running
| more Linux 2.6.32 kernel tests on other
| systems and with more test profiles.
| Besides the performance drops when using
| EXT4 and then a few encoding improvements,
| we have not encountered many performance-
| related changes with the Linux 2.6.32
| kernel.
