The new version of Linux Kernel 4.0.1 is now available for download. This new Kernel 4.0.1 brings a lot of improvements, bug fixes and some additional features. User installing this Kernel does not have to reboot to activate the new Kernel. A good point for Server system usage which means no downtime after upgrade the Kernel.
