Kernel 2.6.8.1 is also out. Thats right, a kernel version with 4 version numbers!

There was a big NFS4 bug in 2.4.8 and so they rushed out 2.4.8.1. This is something that they have been talking about doing for some time (the 4 version numbers) so what they did when they found this NFS4 bug was to introduce this change because it was a good excuse to start using it!

The four version numbers are going to take a while to get used to. They look wrong at the moment though hehe. :P
