Torvalds Announces Linux 3.16-rc4

Linux founder, Linus Torvalds has officially announced the fourth Release Candidate (RC) version of the upcoming Linux kernel 3.16. The RC4 is a successor to Linux 3.16-rc3. It is now available for download and testing. However, since it is a development version, it should not be installed on production machines.     The latest release candidate mainly concentrates on drivers (gpu, usb, scsi, sound), filesystems (btrfs, ext4) and arch updates (mostly arm).
"Things have calmed down nicely, and everything seems pretty normal. Maybe some of the calm has been due to people starting to take off for summer and (in the US) the 4th of July week, but whatever the reason, both the diffstat and the logs look nice and fairly small." Torvalds said in the release note. The latest release candidate mainly concentrates on drivers (gpu, usb, scsi, sound), filesystems (btrfs, ext4) and arch updates (mostly arm).

Earlier, Torvalds announced the third Release Candidate (RC) version of the upcoming Linux kernel 3.16. It mainly concentrated on architecture updates with relatively less driver updates than usual. "There's perhaps relatively less driver updates than usual, with most of them being pretty small. Misc architecture updates (mips, powerpc, x86, arm) dominate the diff, and there are various random other updates. We've got filesystem updates (aio, nfs and ocfs2), a small batch of mm fixes from Andrew, some networking stuff.etc." Torvalds said.

Here's the complete Linux 3.16-rc4 release note

Easy Way to Calculate Remainder of Long Division

       Most of the calculators unable to calulate Remainder of long division. Today I am going to show you a easy way to Calculate Remainder of Long Division using square-and-multiply algorithm. Consider example as (25) 17 % 77 As we know,             25 17 = 25 16 x 25 1 So we perform steps as follows:             25 1 % 77 = 25             25 2 % 77 = 9             25 4 % 77 = 9 2 % 77 = 4             25 8 % 77 = 4 2 % 77 = 16             25 16 % 77 = 16 2 % 77 =25 Since, 17 = 16 + 1 we stopped after 25 16 % 77  Final computation,           ...

Why to use Ubuntu?

On April, 2014 Microsoft ends support for XP. Now it is vulnerable and unsecure to use XP. But, few hundred million people still using XP since they don’t know other options and can’t afford Win 7, 8.0, 8.1., 10 I have one suggestion for such people that is Canonical’s Ubuntu . Ubuntu is healthy OS which can run very well on old platform i.e. XP-era hardware. Many people don’t like Linux’s (it is kernel from which Ubuntu has been developed) GUI for them I have Ubuntu-Gnome, KDE, Unity, LXDE and many other interfaces. Ubuntu-Gnome’s GUI is better than Windows GUI and more customizable. There are also Ubuntu flavours for education, server, multimedia, etc. Chinese government also developed Kylin OS for whole China from Ubuntu. You can dual boot your PC with Ubuntu keeping your existing windows. Followings are some points where Ubuntu beats Windows: 1.       Open source and community: -          ...
