Linux Kernel 2.6.26 is out; so is Gentoo 2008.0
Published in MichaelDolan - 14-07-2008
I actually haven’t been using Gentoo at all recently. It’s on an older laptop that just doesn’t keep up with all the compiling. However I have a very fast AMD64 desktop at home just waiting to try out the latest Gentoo. I was also waiting for the latest kernel to come out b/c there are some KVM, webcam, and other driver updates I’m interested in taking advantage of. In other news, 2.6.26 adds KVM support for S/390 (IBM Mainframe), PPC (IBM Power) and Itanium processors.
I also noticed KGDB (kernel debugger) supports x86 and SPARC right now - SPARC? Hmm…
