3.6-rc1 Already!
Kernel version 3.5 has not been out for very long, but now there is 3.6-rc1 already – available from http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=summary
Compiling now, and will be interesting to see if anything breaks!
Update: Compiled and installed OK, and VMware 8.0.4 (patched) compiles OK, but – unusually – the NVIDIA driver (304.30) compilation fails:
