Before I even start talking about this new release, I would like to wish you all a Happy New Year! and hope that all your wishes and dreams will come true in this new year! Starting with this new year I hope I will do more for the Linux community, with maybe more kernel packages and other packages which could help everyone to keep their laptop/desktop/netbook updated also at top speed, well as much as possible.
Now to go back to the release, big things didn’t change, but the goodies are there. With this new release, I have changed the revision, usually I was using revision 1 or 2 and so on, but now I have changed it to, for example: 2.6.32.3.1. This will look much more better in dpkg or in general in the list of packages installed. The usual fixed and modules are there, for example: acerhdf 0.5.22 (Acer Aspire One fan control module), coretemp is fixed for Intel Atom processors, unionfs patch and support, ureadahead (uber-readahead) for Ubuntu systems (makes booting time faster), plus a custom build which should ensure that the kernel is faster, smaller and stable. Please also check the changelog from kernel.org related to this kernel release http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.32.3.
