Download Linux kernel 2.5.57

Linus Torvalds apparently has had nothing to do the last few days, because you can test a new kernel again. This time you can do it in the form of kernel version 2.5.57. The Linux guru lets us know the most important changes to be:

Ok, Alan worked on fixing the network packet padding thing (small changes
to a _lot_ of network drivers), and merged some more of his IDE work.
And latency fixes and some VM updates from Andrew Morton.

Ppc, ppc64, ISDN and sparc updates. NFSd and sysfs updates.

And special mention for Brian Gerst, who figured out and fixed a x86 page
table initialization fix that would leave old machines unable to boot
2.5.x. That might explain a number of the “I can’t run 2.5.x” that weren’t
seen by developers (most developers tend to have hardware studly enough
that they’d never see the problem).
