Linux News: Linux Kernel 3.8 Reaches End of Life

Hello Linux Geeksters.

On May 11, Greg Kroah Hartman announced the end of life (EOL) of the Linux Kernel 3.8.*, meaning that its support will stop and all the users are urged to upgrade to the 3.9.* kernel. Also, the kernel 3.10 RC1 is available, for the rocket science Linux geeks.http://i1-news.softpedia-static.com/images/news-700/Linux-Kernel-3-8-Reaches-End-of-Life-EOL.png?1368432307

“NOTE, this is the LAST 3.8.y kernel release, please move to the 3.9.y kernel series at this time. It is end-of-life, dead, gone, buried, and put way behind us never to be spoken of again. Seriously, move on, it’s just not worth it anymore.”

“And for that specific two-letter hardware company that was insisting in public that I would be maintaining the 3.8.y kernel as a long-term kernel so that “you will do our maintenance work for us, for free,” please see figure one,” Greg Kroah-Hartman said in the email announcement.
