Download Linux Kernel 2.5.68

bkor forwards us to kernel.org, where version 2.5.68 can be downloaded from the Linux development kernel. This release is available to download in two variants: the first is the full kernel and the second is the patch with a size of two megabytes. Below is what Linus put in the announcement email, the full changelog is up this page to read:

Tons of changes all over the map. The diff is large, partly because the s390x support got merged into the s390 port as a 64-bit subset, and the old s390x architecture files thus became irrelevant. And a merge with Alan gave us a another architecture instead – h8300.

Lots of dvb updates (digital video), again through Alan. And a major aic79xx driver update.

Oh, and the devfs stuff by Christoph means that devfs users should beware: in particular, devfs users need to mount the pts filesystem like everybody else does, that duplication got killed.

Other than that, just a ton of updates. See changelog for details.
