New version of the core operating system Linux. Two years after the previous release of version 2.4.0 of the Linux kernel, Linus Torvalds the creator, after considering the trial for several months, announced the Linux Kernel 2.6.28.9, with a batch of new features, bugs and eliminated with a compatibility with systems up to 32 processors.

The system for compiling the kernel is much improved and has added new graphical configuration utilities, and debugging new objects. The performance has been improved due to a rehabilitation of the layers of block and memory management, two of IO Schedulers available.

Stresses also better support for USB and FireWire, and the presence of patches of Preemptive multitasking, decreasing the potential latencies, especially in multimedia applications. In the same way, has improved the planner processes, increasing stability in the system despite the large number of active processes. In addition to this, we have included several tools to determine the behavior of the scheduler process, very grateful.

Another important factor is the improvement of the PCI subsystem, which means for most of those working with large servers that can access all your PCI devices with greater speed, to which we add the appropriate support USB 2.0 drivers for many wireless devices via Bluetooth.

Threading improvements, dump dumps improved, faster system calls, framebuffer layer, retrofit Quota statistics in nanoseconds, generic VFS changes, enhanced system monitoring, escalating frequency of the CPU and many more improvements to uncover yourself.
