Linus Torvalds announced the availability of Linux 3.1 (I mean logically the kernel), and this has as its strong point that the support for AMD, Intel and Nvidia GPUs was improved, as well as for the OpenRISC architecture (when I say AMD we obviously mean Ati).
But not only this, this version also has support for Nintendo Wii, so you know… if you want to venture and install Linux on your Wii, you can do it 
In his statement he mentions that the bases for Linux v3.2 are already established, since normally the odd versions (3.1, 2.3, 2.7, etc.) are development versions, that is, versions on which to work for the next version ( with even number) have improved the new that was added in the odd version.
However hehe, this will not make distros look intimidated and do not include this version (3.1) in order to gain stability, and thus wait until version 3.2, in fact ... I would bet that tomorrow in ArchLinux I already have it available, a matter of a "pacman -Syu" and ready, Linux Kernel v3.1 installed 
Possibly Fedora 16, which should be released next month includes this version of the kernel, but well… each distro has its peculiarities, that's the great thing about this world 
Anyway, wait for updates 
