Linux creator Linus Torvalds has released version 2.6.26 of the Linux kernel after a lengthy three-month development stretch since the 2.6.25 release involving nine release candidates. In announcing the release on the Linux Kernel Mailing List, Torvalds said the 87 days since 2.6.25 makes 2.6.26 a longer-than-usual release cycle. Torvalds said the changes from release candidate (RC) 9 are small, with the bulk (80 percent) being documentation updates.

Please.. can we have more of these nobody-cares-about-news on OSNews?? Please, pretend everyone is in high school or student and so excited about OS that holds almost 1% of the desktop market.
Look, if you want Windows only news why don't you bugger off to a Windows-only site then
This is OSnews after all. Linux news might not be riveting, but it is on-topic. And yes, Linux has only around 1% percent of the desktop market. So what. Only 2% of people have IQs over 130 (or below 70, if you think that's the Linux user-base,
). So fr!kken what. Linux has far greater penetration in the server market, which some of OSnews' readers might actually be interested in as they do real work instead of playing games.

My God, how long will it be before 2.6.27?? Did someone just say *94* days? 94??? That is so scary.
