Linux 2.6.26 was released, announced July 13, by Linux originator Linus Torvalds.

The new stable kernel has read-only bind mounts, “big iron” KVM ports, USB Webcam support, 802.11s mesh Wi-Fi, built-in support for remote kernel debugging, and a host of embedded architecture improvements, among other enhancements.

It contains 330MB of source code, via a 48.3MB bzip2-compressed download.

There are chip- and board-specific improvements, along with several interesting “big ticket” feature additions, including built-in support for remote kernel debugging using KGDB.
