Introduction
I Have been writing about Linux for almost 4 years now, but I have never wrote an article about Linux itself, I mean the Linux Story and some stuff like that.
I think it is time to dedicate some space in this blog to the great operating system Linux is.
Linux Kernel or GNU/Linux
One of first things we need to have clear here, is what we are calling Linux is it the GNU/Linux or the jus

Linux 2.6.35.7
I’m announcing the release of the 2.6.35.7 kernel. This is only needed if you run Xen, there was a typo that caused problems. My fault, sorry.
Linux 2.6.36-rc6 Kernel Released
The Linux 2.6.36 kernel is just about here.
Quote:
Linus Torvalds has released version 2.6.32 of the Linux kernel.
A security vulnerability that was discovered in the Linux kernel affecting the Ubuntu 12.10 LTS (Quantal Quetzal) operating system, was announced by Canonical.
This is the kernel vulnerability found in the Linux kernel packages: CVE-2012-4461, CVE-2012-4530, and CVE-2012-5532.
Linux Kernel is the core of the Linux operating systems. (read more)
Published at LXer:
The kernel has historically been developed independently of anything that runs in user space. The well-defined kernel ABI, built around the POSIX standard, has allowed for a nearly absolute separation between the kernel and the rest of the system. Linux is nearly unique, however, in its division of kernel and user-space development.
Greg Kroah-Hartman announced the immediate availability for download of Linux kernel 3.4.37 LTS (long-term support).
Linux kernel 3.4.37 LTS comes with a lot of changes and improvements, just like the previous version.
“I'm announcing the release of the 3.4.37 kernel.
After the release of Linux kernel 3.9.1, Greg Kroah-Hartman has also announced that the twelfth maintenance release for the stable Linux 3.8 kernel series is available for download.
Actually, Linux kernel 3.8.12 includes mostly the same changes as Linux 3.9.1 kernel, so you should check out the announcement for Linux kernel 3.9.1.
"I'm announcing the release of the 3.8.12 kernel.
The Linux kernel is the world’s largest collaborative development project. Almost 3,000 individual contributors work together to create and maintain an operating system kernel that works on everything from wristwatches and mobile phones to mainframes, along with all the peripherals imaginable for each platform.
