From Juergen Haas, your Guide to Linux
This week, the Linux community is celebrating the homecoming of Android. Linux father Torvalds has embraced the lost son that went astray a couple years ago, and re-united Android with the core Linux code base.

Reunification of Linux and Android
Linux founder Linus Torvalds has now released version 3.3 of the Linux kernel, which is notable for its (tentative) integration of Android, Google's adaptation of Linux for mobile devices... Read more

First Full Release of Open-Source Media Player Nightingale
