Linux 2.6.22 Released
The latest and greatest Linux kernel (2.6.22) has just been released. Of the numerous interesting new features, I’m especially excited about two things: a new way to measure approximately how much memory a process is using (via the process footprint measurement facility), and the ability to measure file timestamps using nanoseconds for greater precision.
In addition, there’s a new wireless stack, a new Firewire stack (very cool), and a slew of new drivers and other changes. Check out details about this release here, then download the kernel. Enjoy!
