Linux 3.3 Released 314
diegocg writes "Linux 3.3 has been released. The changes include the merge of kernel code from the Android project. There is also support for a new architecture (TI C6X), much improved balancing and the ability to restripe between different RAID profiles in Btrfs, and several network improvements: a virtual switch implementation (Open vSwitch) designed for virtualization scenarios, a faster and more scalable alternative to the 'bonding' driver, a configurable limit to the transmission queue of the network devices to fight bufferbloat, a network priority control group and per-cgroup TCP buffer limits. There are also many small features and new drivers and fixes. Here's the full changelog."

If I deploy a 3.3 guest on a host running 3.3, does it automatically become 3.3 repeating and go on forever?

You can uninstall GBrain and/or MindKontrol to prevent Gnome and KDE from controlling your thoughts.

Ah, slashdot. The place where you can indignantly call someone wrong because they've told you to do something that's impossible, only to have a whole bunch of people who've already done it explain that you, in fact, are the person in the wrong.

Your problems with Slackware appear to stem from your use of the wrong mock-religion meme in your signature. Eris, in particular, is known to cause trouble. Try changing your signature to The Subgenius must have Slack and the package management should improve.
