Linux 3.0’s much-anticipated final release marks a significant event in the history of the open source operating system. After almost three years of development, and numerous policy and structural changes, Linux 3.0 is finally available in production form.
Linux 3.0 marks a point in the development cycle that is much more impressive than the typical minor (and even major) releases that follow each other. Significant improvements in performance and a host of new features demonstrate the power of open source software.
The kernels performance improvements make use of new technology such as the scheduler, memory management and process grouping, and virtual memory capabilities. These improvements will make it significantly easier for developers to create applications that will be able to scale effectively on multiple platforms, and across multiple hardware configurations.
On the interface side, Linux 3.0 has reworked features such as the GNOME 3 desktop, providing a more streamlined user experience. Kernel driver support has been improved with better detection of devices, improved power management, and better support for hotplugging devices. Open source software projects such as Wayland, SELinux, and Grsecurity have been included in the release, making it easier for users to access these projects.
In addition to its major features, Linux 3.0 also includes a number of smaller changes that have added up to create a more secure, reliable, and robust operating system. The kernel now includes better access control, secure boot support, and improved support for various file systems.
For developers, this is an incredibly exciting release, as many of the improvements put into Linux 3.0 will make it easier to create stable, secure, and high performing applications. Linux 3.0 also incorporates the latest versions of popular development libraries, making it simpler to develop broader applications that take advantage of the improved kernel performance.
The release of Linux 3.0 is a significant milestone for the open source platform, and is sure to be welcomed by anyone who values stability and performance in their computer. As the most important release in many years, Linux 3.0 stands ready to deliver the robust benefits of the open source movement to users worldwide.
