Greg Kroah-Hartman has announced the release of the 6.7.4, 6.6.16, and 6.1.77 stable kernels. As usual, they contain important fixes all over the kernel tree.

Filesystem development is not an easy task; the performance demands are typically high, and the consequences for mistakes usually involve lost data and irate users. The implementation of a virtual (or "pseudo") filesystem — a filesystem implemented within the kernel and...
A new version of the Damn Small Linux distribution has come out with an updated definition of 'damn small': The new goal of DSL is to pack as much usable desktop distribution into an image small enough to fit on a single CD, or a hard limit of 700MB. This project is meant...
