This ISO image of Arch Linux is now powered by Linux kernel 3.12.9

I can't believe that it's already February and that another ISO image of the powerful Arch Linux distribution has been announced yesterday, as expected, on its official website.

Unfortunately for some of you, Arch Linux is still not using the recently released Linux kernel 3.13. As such, Arch Linux 2014.02.01 is powered by Linux kernel 3.12.9, which is also the latest stable build of the upstream Linux 3.12 kernel series.

Additionally, Arch Linux 2014.02.01 includes all the updated packages that were released during the past month, January 2014. As usual, existing Arch Linux users don’t need this new ISO image, as it's only intended for those of you who want to install Arch Linux on new machines.

Arch Linux is a rolling-release Linux operating system, so in order to keep your Arch system up-to-date, use the sudo pacman -Syu or yaourt -Syua commands. Download Arch Linux 2014.02.01 right now from Softpedia.
