Linux 3.6.11, Stable But Fast-moving
“I’m announcing the release of the 3.6.11 kernel.
Note, this is the LAST kernel in the 3.6.y series, it is now end-of-life. Please move to the 3.7.y kernel series at this time.”
see LKML: Greg KH: Linux 3.6.11.
Shucks. I rebuilt my kernel yesterday and I’m almost obsolete…
You can get your next kernel here. I bunzip2, check the signature on the tar file (gpg linux-3.7.1.tar.sign), untar, change to the directory and, on my Debian GNU/Linux system,
- make mrproper
- make oldconfig (picks up latest config from /boot/)
- make -j 2 (use 2 CPUs)
- make modules_install install and reboot
Takes 20 minutes or so and I have no performance issues while it grinds away.
