Kernel 2.6.31.6-dragonfly released for Debian/Ubuntu (Dragonfly)
Nov 11th
Not so long ago the kernel development team release kernel 2.6.31.5 and now 2.6.31.6, well actually yesterday, but who’s counting. Normally I wouldn’t build and release any packages from this kernel tree due to a lot of regression and not as much speed and stability. But since version 2.6.31.5, seems that a lot of parts of the kernel where fixed and works much more smoother then before. Also, I successfully patch this version with sreadahead, which gave me quite a big headache, well more or less a day it took me to create the patch and configure the kernel so it would really work with sreadahead. 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-2.6.31.6.

Ubuntu 9.10 “Karmic Koala” released!
Oct 29th
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.
Kernel 2.6.31.5-firebird released for Debian/Ubuntu (Firebird)
Oct 28th
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.
Kernel 2.6.31-final released for Debian/Ubuntu (Final)
Sep 10th
Kernel 2.6.31 is here and with that also the Debian/Ubuntu kernel package, called 2.6.31-final. Because this is a final release or a start of a new release (2.6.31), I wont named it after a rock band or anything like that.
Like usually, this kernel includes the latest bug fixed, features and improvements, plus acerhdf module for Acer Aspire One, coretemp fix for Intel Atom CPU’s and a bit of configuration settings to make sure it works better and faster. Also this new package release includes some more support for other laptops/computers besides Acer Aspire One and Lenovo laptops.
