Ubuntu 9.10 “Karmic Koala” released!
The day has come for Karmic Koala to be released. Ubuntu 9.10 “Karmic Koala” is here!
I’ve been waiting for this release for quite a while now. I’ve tested most releases since 8.04 and I had to stick to 8.04 due to the stability and functionality of it. Most of the new releases had issues and problems, from the Intel video driver issues to simple instability of the system for every day use.
Tried already the beta and RC version of Ubuntu 9.10 and until now I can only say nice things about it. Nice gnome changes, like removal of images in the buttons, speed up and more functionality. In plus this new release should also be faster and more stable compared to the previous releases.
This release comes with the latest kernel version 2.6.31, updates for all packages included in this release, Ubuntu One for backup, sharing of files, AppAmor new profiles and version, hal deprecation, new Intel driver architecture, moving from EXA to UXA video acceleration method and so on.
The changes are big and endless to write them here now. But if you are interested in this new release, go to the Ubuntu download page http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download and take this new release for a spin, I really thing you will enjoy it.

Kernel 2.6.34.1-blackjack released for Debian/Ubuntu (Blackjack)
about 3 weeks ago - 5 comments
I haven’t been writing on my blog for quite a while and I guess now I should, well actually The Kernel Development just released kernel 2.6.34.1, so I have a good reason for adding a new post .
This kernel really stayed in the cooker for some time, as version 2.6.34 was release two months ago. I
Kernel 2.6.34-final is here!

After a couple of days of waiting for BFS scheduler patch and rebuilding the patch for ureadahead, kernel 2.6.34-final is here. I know, again, it’s with a certain delay, but some parts are not in my control and it’s not much that I can do about it.
As usual, the same stuff are included in this

Well first of all, sorry for this late release, but had some stuff to handle which at that point in time where more important. Kernel 2.6.33.3 was released last week and it comes like always with a bunch of bug fixes, improvements and new stuff added. I’m not gonna go into them, because there are
Kernel 2.6.33.2-coolcat released for Debian/Ubuntu (Coolcat)

A couple of days ago Kernel 2.6.33.2 was released. Due to the Easter holidays, I didn’t have the time to build this kernel, but yesterday evening somehow I get around it and now the packages are ready for use.
There are no major stuff added in this kernel from my side, besides the removal of PAE
Kernel 2.6.33.1-beetlejuice released for Debian/Ubuntu (Beetlejuice)

Another day, another kernel, another kernel package. To be damn honest, I can’t keep up with the kernel development team. They are releasing kernels like on a production line. It’s almost impossible for a single person to keep the the releases on time, but I’m trying
Anyway, I will keep this short and tell
Brain Fuck Scheduler and Kernel 2.6.33 (2.6.33-final-bfs)
about 4 months ago - 5 comments
A couple of days ago, I discovered, thanks to PCLinuxOS, a new kernel scheduler, Brain Fuck Scheduler or BFS. The name of this kernel scheduler is not very attractive, but what this scheduler does, is. It seems that this scheduler is more simple and fast, especially when it comes to low spec computers.
Because I’ve tried
Kernel 2.6.33-final is here!

A couple of days ago kernel 2.6.33 was released. Due to some personal issues which I had to deal with, I couldn’t actually release the packages sooner than now.
Because I don’t wanna carry too much about this and that and plus I don’t really have much time, I will just say that this final release
Kernel 2.6.32.8-pharox released for Debian/Ubuntu (Pharox)

Today seems a good day to release a new kernel package. It’s Friday, it’s almost weekend and why not have some fun with a new kernel release. The kernel was release a couple of days ago, but to be honest, I couldn’t build it due to not having a machine working on some older Ubuntu.
Kernel 2.6.32.7-firefly released for Debian/Ubuntu (Firefly)
about 6 months ago - No comments
Now I know I’m gonna repeat myself, but this is the 4th release in 2 weeks. I’m not sure how come there are so many release out of the door, but seems there are a lot of fixes added to each release. So this release is 2.6.32.7 which seems to bring more improvements and fixes

Just a couple of days ago, kernel.org developers have release kernel 2.6.32.4, then soon after 2.6.32.5 and now 2.6.32.6. Seems something has change or a lot of bugs where fixed, because in less then 5 days (well +/-) they release tree version. One thing I have noticed in 2.6.32.6 is that the i915 module and
