Hello readers! Today I'd like to share the download links of Linux Kernel 3.6.0 and how to install it on Ubuntu. I've tested it on my Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Precise Pangolin and everything seems OK. Although it's safe, please don't install it on production machine!
Below are some prominent features of Linux 3.6.0:
- Btrfs: subvolume quotas, quota groups, snapshot diff, cross-subvolume file clones
- Suspend to disk and memory at the same time
- Support for SMBv2 protocol
- TCP Fast Open (client side)
- ext4: better quota support
- PCIe D3cold power state support
- Safe swap over NFS/NBD
Please download all files according to your computer architecture:
