Linux kernel is the essential part of any Linux operating system. It is responsible for resource allocation, low-level hardware interfaces, security, simple communications, basic file system management, and more. Written from scratch by Linus Torvalds (with help from various developers), Linux is a clone of the UNIX operating system. It is geared towards POSIX and Single UNIX Specification compliances.

Includes powerful features

Linux provides users with powerful features, such as true multitasking, multistack networking, shared copy-on-write executables, shared libraries, demand loading, virtual memory, and proper memory management. Initially designed only for 386/486-based computers, now Linux supports a wide range of architectures, including 64-bit (IA64, AMD64), ARM, ARM64, DEC Alpha, MIPS, SUN Sparc, PowerPC, as well as Amiga and Atari machines.

What's new in Linux Kernel 4.1 RC2:

As usual, it's a mixture of driver fixes, arch updates (with s390 really standing out due to that one prng commit), and some filesystem and networking. The attached shortlog gives the details, there's nothing particularly worrisome here. So far 4.1 looks fairly normal.

The source of Linux Kernel 4.1 RC2 is available now. Binary packages are in the process of being built, and will appear soon at their respective download locations.
