Today, the kernel development team has release the stable version of the kernel 2.6.32. This version should include a lot of bug fixes, improvements and added functionality and drivers. Like usual, when there is a kernel release, I also do a kernel package release, which in this case is called “final“, as its a major and stable release of a new kernel tree, 2 6.32. I’m not gonna talk too much about the this kernel release, but I will talk about the package which includes this kernel. To find what actually has changed in this kernel version, I would recommend all of you to read the change log from http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.32.

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.

As I wrote in my previous post, today I am launching the new kernel package for Debian/Ubuntu 2.6.31.5-firebird based on kernel version 2.6.31.5. This new package contains the latest kernel, acerhdf module for Acer Aspire One (version 0.5.19) and coretemp patched for Intel Atom processors. If you wanna read more about what this new kernel packs, please check out http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.31.5.
Usually, I do not release any kernel package based on kernel version 2.6.31.[0-9] as I had some bad experience with it, plus it didn’t function as I would wished, but after some tests with this new kernel version I end-up with the conclusion it needs to be released.

As some of you may have notice, my blog have change in every way possible. There is a new theme, new logo, new server and web server setup. Now when it comes to the new setup, I am talking about lighttpd with php-cgi. I’ve been testing this option for a bit and seemed the right one to go with. Lighttpd seems to work quite fine and the speed it’s really good, but there are some issues, it’s quite complicated to configure lighttpd. I mean, the style of configuration is a bit odd, but in general if you worked some time with web servers, you will get it, anyway I did.
The new theme, again is also new and it’s called Mystique and seems a very good option at the moment. It uses jQuery, making the theme and in general the blog look and feel nicer. When it comes to the logo, you will notice a mix between “Robin’s logo” (Batman’s right hand) and a normal text, all done in Adobe Photoshop.
