Linux 3.0 has been released by the founder of Linux, Linus Torvalds via a google account + hers. In the latest operating system that can be used for free, there are some differences compared to previous versions.
The first striking difference is the numbering system of the linux kernel, which is the core of the open source operating system GNU / Linux. If the previous version uses three numbers, they are currently only using two numbers only. Instead of using the name of Linux 2.6.40, Torvalds prefers figure 3.0.
Torvalds said the replacement of kernel number will not be a problem. "The bottom line numbering 3.0 it only re-course, we did not do a KDE or Gnome-4-3 anything here," said Torvalds.
But some parties see that the numbering re-number the kernel can provide problems. Many of the previous kernel packages track the latest linux version by searching '2 .6 '. So that these problems can be overcome, then the need for renewal.
In response, Torvalds said that it is not a problem. "As I've mentioned several times, there are no special features or incompatibility associated with the version number changes," wrote Torvalds. According to him, the criticism is a way to bring down the prestige of Linux that currently the 20 th birthday.
In addition to a different numbering system kernel, Linux 3.0 adding backend storage for the Xen Hypervisor, renewal Btrfs file system, and improvements to a number of drivers for a variety of graphics processors and peripherals.
