"
There are a couple of trees I haven't merged on purpose, and there may be a few trees I overlooked by mistake. The "on purpose" ones were things that looked unfamiliar and I felt I didn't have the bandwidth to check. The "mistake" ones would just be things I missed due to being busy." - said Linus Torvalds in the
announcement.
Download Linux Kernel 3.3 RC1 right now from Softpedia. Remember that this is a development release and it is intended for testing purposes only.
