Einen der voranstehenden Auflistung ähnlichen Überblick sowie eine Kurzbeschreibung der wichtigsten Änderungen von 2.6.27 pflegen auch die Kernelnewbies in ihrem Wiki. Wer es noch detaillierter möchte, durchkämmt das mehrere Megabyte große Changelog, das die zu jedem einzelnen Commit im Quellcodeverwaltungssystem von Linux gehörenden Kommentare enthält, welche den jeweiligen Patch des Commits beschreiben. Alternativ kann man sich auch im Git-Webinterface durch die Kernel-Quellen und deren jüngste Änderungen arbeiten; dort hat man zum jeweiligen Kommentar auch gleich den zugehörenden Patch im Zugriff.
