Linux Kernel 3.0 is out!

[Shiv Manas]

I know it's been out for a while, but I've been waiting for a
human-readable changelog which can be found here:

http://kernelnewbies.org/LinuxChanges

FTA: "Besides a new version numbering scheme, Linux 3.0 also has
several new features: Btrfs data scrubbing and automatic
defragmentation, XEN Dom0 support, unprivileged ICMP_ECHO, wake on
WLAN, Berkeley Packet Filter JIT filtering, a memcached-like system
for the page cache, a sendmmsg() syscall that batches sendmsg() calls
and setns(), a syscall that allows better handling of light
virtualization systems such as containers. New hardware support has
been added: for example, Microsoft Kinect, AMD Llano Fusion APUs,
Intel iwlwifi 105 and 135, Intel C600 serial-attached-scsi controller,
Ralink RT5370 USB, several Realtek RTL81xx devices or the Apple iSight
webcam. Many other drivers and small improvements have been added."

I'm running 3.0.0 right now on F15 and I've had no issues so far.
Personally I'm excited about the new btrfs improvements and support
for the AMD Llano series (I've just ordered an A8-3850 !).
