Download Linux 2.6.2

Linus Torvalds, the well-known programmer who created the first version of the Linux operating system, has released a new version of the Linux kernel. We have already arrived at number 2.6.2, where as usual a changelog belongs that is almost longer than the sources themselves. Fortunately, Linus also gives a short summary:

I just pushed out the BK trees, and the tar-ball/patches are going out as I write this, for Linux 2.6.2. The honor of naming it goes to Gernot Heiser, for reasons that are largely alcoholic, I suspect. good job!

The changelog from -rc3 mainly contains some ppc64 updates, see the summary for more details on some of the other changes.
