77

Just a few minutes ago, December 21, 2015, Linus Torvalds had the great pleasure of announcing the release and immediate availability for download and testing of the sixth RC (Release Candidate) build of the upcoming Linux 4.4 LTS kernel.

According to Mr. Torvalds, Linux kernel 4.4 LTS RC6 is yet another quiet, small and fairly normal development milestone that consists of a little over 60% drivers updates, 16% core networking improvements, 13% hardware architecture fixes, and the rest of 10% is split among filesystems updates, documentation enhancements, header files, and various other under-the-hood improvements.
