December 31, 2008: <a href="http://patchwork.kernel.org">patchwork.kernel.org</a> is now available for
general use. It is currently only monitoring the Linux Kernel mailing-list, but should be useful to kernel
developers in dealing with patches flying across the wire.
</p>
</li>
<li class="newsitem">
<p>
September 19, 2008: mirrors.kernel.org has been flipped over to using our new GeoDNS based bind server (named-geodns).
This means that, at the dns query level, our servers will attempt to direct you to the nearest / fastest kernel.org
mirror for your request. This means that you no longer have to use mirrors.us.kernel.org or mirrors.eu.kernel.org
to generally route you to the right place. This does mean a change to mirrors.kernel.org no longer explicitly
pointing at mirrors.us.kernel.org. Additional information on named-geodns will be forth coming, check back here for
an addendum soon.
</p>
</li>
<li class="newsitem">
September 12, 2008: Thanks to
a <a href="http://www.linux-foundation.org/weblogs/jzemlin/2008/09/11/linux-foundation-expands-fellowship-program-to-support-kernel-developers/">fundraising
effort</a> by the <a href="http://www.linux-foundation.org/">Linux
Foundation</a>, John "warthog9" Hawley will be joining
kernel.org full time as administrator starting Monday, September
15. John has already been the primary administrator on a volunteer
basis for the past three years, and will now be able to devote all his
time toward kernel.org.

<p>March 24, 2008: After far too long of a bringup,

volunteering to host our servers!</p>

<p>Jun 30, 2007: <strong>European servers!</strong> Thanks
to <a href="http://www.hp.com/">Hewlett-Packard</a>,
<a href="http://www.isc.org/">ISC</a> and
<a href="http://www.umu.se/">Umeå Universitet</a>, we are
introducing new kernel.org servers at ISC in Amsterdam and
Umeå Universitet, Sweden. These servers are available as a
round-robin as <a href="http://www.eu.kernel.org/">www.eu.kernel.org</a>,
<a href="ftp://ftp.eu.kernel.org/">ftp.eu.kernel.org</a>, and
rsync.eu.kernel.org.</p>
<p>Additionally, the
hostnames <a href="http://www.all.kernel.org/">www.all.kernel.org</a>,
<a href="ftp://ftp.all.kernel.org/">ftp.all.kernel.org</a>,
and rsync.all.kernel.org are worldwide round-robins among all
four servers.</p>
<p>We hope to have Geo- or BGP-based IP directing in the
future, and hope to soon provide additional services in
Europe.</p>
<p>Huge thanks to HP for donating two additional DL380 G5's
for this effort, and huge thanks to ISC and UMU for

servers from <a href="http://www.hp.com/">Hewlett-Packard</a>.
These servers are dual quad-core Xeon E5335 servers with 16 GB
RAM per server, and 15000 RPM SAS disks. These servers have
replaced the old servers for all local-contents services (www,
ftp, and rsync); the old servers are now dedicated to running
<a href="http://mirrors.kernel.org/">mirrors.kernel.org</a>.</p>
<p>Once again, thanks to HP for your continued support of

Mar 13, 2007: <strong>10 years of kernel.org!</strong> The
Linux Kernel archives were <a href="970313.08.txt">announced to the world on March 13,

Feb 4, 2006:

Please don't use <strong>finger.kernel.org</strong> for any
sort of automatic monitoring. The number of automatic bots

<h2 id="mirrors">The Linux Kernel Archives Mirror System</h2>
<p>To improve access for everyone, a number of
sites around the world have provided mirrors of this site, which
may be faster to use than the master archive itself. Please see
<a href="/mirrors/"><strong>http://www.kernel.org/mirrors/</strong></a> for
information about how to connect to a participating mirror site.</p>
<p>To guard against Trojan mirror sites, all files originating at
the Linux Kernel Archives are <a href="signature.html">cryptographically signed</a>. <em>If you are
getting a message that the verification key has expired, please
see <a href="signature.html#expire">this link.</a></em></p>
<h2 id="whatislinux">What is Linux?</h2>
<p>Linux is a clone of the operating system Unix,
written from scratch by Linus Torvalds with assistance from a
loosely-knit team of hackers across the Net. It aims towards
POSIX and <a href="http://www.unix-systems.org/">Single UNIX
Specification</a> compliance.</p>
<p>It has all the features you would expect in a modern
fully-fledged Unix, including true multitasking, virtual memory,
shared libraries, demand loading, shared copy-on-write executables,
proper memory management, and multistack networking including IPv4
and IPv6.</p>
<p>Although originally developed first for 32-bit x86-based PCs (386 or
higher), today Linux also runs on (at least) the
<a href="http://www.alphalinux.org/">Alpha AXP</a>,
<a href="http://www.ultralinux.org/">Sun SPARC</a>,
<a href="http://www.linux-m68k.org/">Motorola 68000</a>,
<a href="http://penguinppc.org/">PowerPC</a>,
<a href="http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/">ARM</a>,
<a href="http://linux-sh.org/">Hitachi SuperH</a>,
<a href="http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/linux390/">IBM S/390</a>,
<a href="http://www.linux-mips.org/">MIPS</a>,
<a href="http://www.parisc-linux.org/">HP PA-RISC</a>,
<a href="http://www.ia64-linux.org/">Intel IA-64</a>,
<a href="http://www.x86-64.org/">AMD x86-64</a>,

and <a href="http://blackfin.uclinux.org/">Analog Devices Blackfin</a>
architectures; for many of these architectures in both 32- and
64-bit variants.</p>
<p>Linux is easily portable to most general-purpose 32- or 64-bit
architectures as long as they have a paged memory management unit
(PMMU) and a port of the GNU C compiler (gcc) (part of <a
href="http://gcc.gnu.org/">The GNU Compiler Collection, GCC</a>). Linux
has also been ported to a number of architectures without a PMMU,
although functionality is then obviously somewhat limited. See the
<a href="http://www.uclinux.org/">µClinux project</a> for more
info.</p>
<h2 id="newtolinux">New to Linux?</h2>
<p>If you're new to Linux, you don't want to download the kernel,
which is just a component in a working Linux system. Instead, you
want what is called a <em>distribution</em> of Linux, which is a
complete Linux system. There are numerous distributions available
for download on the Internet as well as for purchase from various
vendors; some are general-purpose, and some are optimized for
specific uses. We currently have mirrors of several distributions
available at <a href="http://mirrors.kernel.org/">mirrors.kernel.org</a>,
as well as a small collection of special-purpose distributions at
<a href="/pub/dist/">http://www.kernel.org/pub/dist/</a>.</p>
<p>Note, however, that most distributions are very large (several
gigabytes), so unless you have a <a href="fast.html">fast Internet
link</a> you may want to save yourself some hassle and purchase a
CD-ROM with a distribution; such CD-ROMs are available from a number
of vendors.</p>
<p><a href="http://mirrors.kernel.org/LDP/HOWTO/Installation-HOWTO/">The
Linux Installation HOWTO</a> has more information how to set up
your first Linux system.</p>
<h2 id="moreinfo">More Information</h2>
<p>There is much <a href="links.html">information about Linux on the web</a>.</p>
<h2 id="reportingbugs">Reporting Linux Kernel bugs</h2>
<p>Please see <a href="/pub/linux/docs/lkml/reporting-bugs.html"><strong>http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/lkml/reporting-bugs.html</strong></a>
if you want to report a Linux kernel bug. <em>Bug reports sent to
the kernel.org administrators will be ignored.</em></p>
<p>There is now a bugzilla setup at <a href="http://bugzilla.kernel.org">bugzilla.kernel.org</a>.
Currently this is for reporting kernel version 2.6 bugs only.</p>
<h2 id="mailinglist">Mailing list</h2>
<p>The Linux kernel is discussed on the
<em>linux-kernel</em> mailing list at <a href="http://vger.kernel.org/"><em>vger.kernel.org</em></a>. The FAQ
is available at <a href="/pub/linux/docs/lkml/"><strong>http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/lkml/</strong></a>,
