Linux kernel 3.9 released!

kernel_panic

Meeting development deadlines and at incredible speed, Kernel 3.9 has been released!

Features: 

  • Experimental support for RAID 5 and 6
  • New drivers for WiFi cards, especially those of the Intel 7000 Series
  • Enhancements to ATI Radeon 8500 and 8600 series support
  • dm-cache, a system that is experimentally introduced to use SSD drives as a cache for other types of slower storage drives, thus improving file transfer.

To download the source code is at www.kernel.org.

    Good news. Hope RHEL / CentOS implements it.

    1.    msx said

      Haha, yes, in 2025!
      Do you know what is missing for that !! ??

    2.    ldd said

      Of course it will, but in 2020.

      1.    msx said

        Exactly, like Debian.

          wing, naa I think they should have for 2015 or so xd

    Great: D!

    New Kernel 😀

    I'm sorry to tell you that until Fedora users break their horns enough, they won't have these features in RHEL / CentOS / Scientific.
    Remember that the HR testing arena is non-rental, and it depends on the users.
    Regards!

      I do not understand what you mean in Fedora Rawhide we go in kernel 3.10 rc0. I believe that 3.9 does not take long to stable.

      Greetings.

    Great. Will there be any speed improvements?

      🙁

      1.    Leo said

        Enough of Unity !!!

        1.    Leo said

          I'M HAPPY!!!
          I HAVE RAZOR-QT 😀
          See if it works with Ubuntu

          1.    Leo said

            If I keep trying they will kick me off the blog

          2.    Leo said

            Well, I'd rather display the Razor-Qt logo alongside Debian than Ubuntu.
            Total at the bottom is Debian 😀

            lol, there's a post for that, don't trash this xD

          4.    msx said

            Hi @ pandev92, do you remember where it is?

          5.    pandev92 said

            msx, I suppose you have found it, but it is this

            https://blog.desdelinux.net/tips-como-cambiar-el-user-agent-de-firefox/

            By the way, I have removed the user agent, because google docs and office web apps did not load me.

          6.    msx said

            @ pandev92 Excellent, thank you very much.

    I understand that the objective of linux is the business before the domestic, but also in the business environment mobile devices are increasingly being implemented, and they continue to pay no attention to the duration of the batteries.

    That strip ... A classic.

    Is there a long way to go to Arch ?, and after this they are going to jump to a Kernel 4 so fast?

    1.    pandev92 said

      Go through phoronix more often, arch usually arrives at 3.9.2 or 3.9.3, also the next kernel is 3.10

      1.    Angel_Le_Blanc said

        thanks, as for the kernel 4 I think I asked a nonsense, sorry for bothering you, and I will stop by Phoronix

        1.    pandev92 said

          naaa you haven't bothered me xd

      Angel:
      In computing, the version number is not mathematical. Imagine that instead of a period it is a hyphen, if someone talks about the version (let's say the same kernel) 3-9, it does not mean that the next one is 4-0 but 3-10, then 3-11 , 3-12, 3-13… .3-20 …… 3-30… etc but it is very, very rare that it goes so far (you will see why later)

      The jump from one version to another can be from 3.2 to 4.0, you do not necessarily have to comply with a number of stages of software modification. (In the case of Gnome, 3.8 will come out, then 3.10 will come out, and what would be 3.12 will be called Gnome 4)

      The 1st number (x.0.0) is about major changes, such as a change in the interface, the engine (in the case of browsers, for example), some improvement (such as adding an RSS reader to a mail client, or a browser), etc (in the case of the kernel I don't know what the parameter is to consider a major change); the 2nd number (1.x.0) refers to a modification of said major version, these are just tweaks like security fixes; the 3rd number (1.9.x) is the same as the 2nd only that they are even less drastic changes that even the end user does not notice sometimes, and these types of versions are usually handled internally or they arrive in the form of updates ( Going back to the case of Gnome, although 3.6 is currently being handled and version 3.8 is going to be released, currently what they were working on was versions 3.6.x-3.6.2 or 3.6.3 is what most of them have up to now of updated versions of Gnome 3.6-, 3.7.x -such as 3.7.80, 3.7.90, etc-)

      I hope my explanation of how software versioning is handled was not confusing.

        Tangled? quite the opposite. Although it wasn't my question, it really clarified things for me that I hadn't even thought about. Thanks for the answer 😀

    I have an article about downloading the kernel based on patches, so we save some bandwidth and a few precious megabytes of navigation for what they have quotas assigned as in the universities. (wish I had known this when I was in ICU) http://xr09.github.io/pages/linux-kernel-patch.html

  11.   Algave said

    In arch we are barely at 3.8.11-1 so it won't be long! xD

    1.    cat said

      I have 3.9.0-1 and I did not get it from AUR nor is it an RC

      1.    msx said

        ehhh gatooo

      2.    pandev92 said

        you got it from testing ...

  12.   Kirby said

    Excellent!
    Now better compatibility with network cards !!!
    They don't know how much that helps me!

  13.   x11tete11x said

    reading the comments I start to think that the higher the kernel version you have is because you have it longer…. I honestly do not understand why that emosion of saying which kernel they have xD

    1.    msx said

      The kernel is the part that I am most reluctant to update on my system 😛
      If your machine is fine, why blindly upgrade to a new kernel?
      It's true, with a new kernel you can always do better, but _worse_ too ...
      The problem is that updating the kernel also updates a lot of modules and tools that depend directly on the version of the kernel or are related in some way.

      After many years of archeology, I found in the half-rolling system a tremendous peace for the use of GNU + Linux on the desktop: the kernel is updated about four times a year, the rest of the base system is updated little by little and as it is considered stable and the applications and the desktop (KDE SC), which are ultimately the important thing, are always in the latest version.

      Of course, if we are developers or depend on new features or have some unsolved hardware incompatibility it is very possible that a new kernel will be attractive, but if our machine works well with the current kernel, everything is detected, it is not worth updating prematurely for the fact of updating, is more is quite dangerous.

    Great downloading I hope I get it well or I'll shit
