The Fedora Project has announced today, April 16, that the recently released Linux kernel 4.0 has been included in the default software repositories of the Fedora 22 Alpha computer operating systems.

The Linux 4.0 kernel has been announced by Linus Torvalds earlier this week, a major release that includes the new kernel patching infrastructure. Distribution vendors are already preparing to include it in their Linux kernel-based operating systems.

Fedora Linux is one of the first distributions to include Linux kernel 4.0 and to offer live patching to their users. While the Beta version of Fedora 22 will be released next Tuesday, on April 21, users of Fedora 22 Alpha can update to Linux kernel 4.0 today.
