Linux kernel 4.11 RC6 Released; Install Linux kernel 4.11 Release Candidate 6 on Ubuntu Linux Systems.
Announcing the Linux kernel 4.11 RC6 , Linus wrote:
Things are looking fairly normal, so here’s the regular weekly rc. It’s a bit bigger than rc5, but not alarmingly so, and nothing looks particularly worrisome. Knock wood. The only slightly unusual thing is how the patches are spread out, with almost equal parts of arch updates, drivers, filesystems, networking and “misc”. But the late rc’s are small enough that you see more fluctuation in those kinds of statistics than you see over the bigger release, so “not the usual distribution” is more about the normal noise of development all over. Go and get it,
