From Slashdot:

An anonymous reader writes “Offering it as ’something to play with over the holidays,’ Linus Torvalds released the official 2.6.10 Linux kernel, which he named the ‘Woozy Numbat.’ KernelTrap offers the full details, noting that there have been minimal changes since the last release candidate, 2.6.10-rc3. Linus commented that with 2.6.10 released, now he could ‘get into the Glögg for real’ (a hot mulled wine with spices, red wine, port and brandy). As always, the latest Linux kernel can be downloaded from a kernel.org mirror.” (Here are some recipes, too.)

I look forward to compiling this one; I’ll be posting to the ThinkBlog probably next Saturday about how it works. (I’ll be out of town till the new year, after tonight.) Apparently this works with AMD’s x86_64 chip, so I may try to grab a BitTorrent of SUSE 9.2 Pro 64-bit and recompile this thing immediately. We’ll have to see how the backups go, first, though. In other news, glögg sounds good, and here’s a recipe; someone let me know if it’s worth it since the coldest it gets around here is the teens Fahrenheit around this time of year.
