[![Linux kernel 3.4 is out: supports Trinity, Southern Islands, Kepler, Medfield and more][1] ][2]

Heavens, it's already time for another Linux kernel refresh. We're now looking at 3.4, which is available for download now. Whereas the last version was all about [green robots][3], this update focuses on support for the latest processors and graphics cards, including AMD's [Trinity][4] and [Radeon HD 7000-series][5], NVIDIA's [Kepler][6] stack, plus the graphical component inside Intel's [Medfield][7] mobile chip. As if that wasn't enough, there are plenty more changes at the source link, along with a serene missive from the [man himself][8].
