Mainline tree is maintained by Linus Torvalds. Prepatch kernels are maintained and released by Linus Torvalds. They must be compiled from source and usually contain new features that must be tested before they can be put into a stable release. Prepatch or "RC" kernels are mainline kernel pre-releases that are mostly aimed at other kernel developers and Linux enthusiasts. I've also added my words in square brackets (). These quotes just below are from this page. Ĭhoose the git repository "tree" you wish to clone: The official Linux kernel source code is at The Linux Kernel Archives at. # Once you identify the one of interest (ex: 2.6.36.2), check out the commit # view all tags, which contain the many many version numbers Git clone git:///pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git Option 2 (recommended): use git to download all versions and check out any version # clone the latest Stable and Longterm release tree (git repo) # extract it on a fast computer this takes ~4 sec. Here's what that might look like: # Download the file, showing a progress bar this file is 56 MB It's also really easy to download the files from the command-line. Read more about that here, including seeing commands to verify the signature. sign file next to it contains the cryptographic PGP signature to verify the downloaded file's authenticity and integrity. tar.xz version of the file, since it is the smallest: linux-2.6.36.2.tar.xz. Įx: the OP's v2.6.32.2 is on this page here. Go here to navigate and download just your version of interest. Option 1: manually download just the kernel version tar file of interest
The official code location for the Linux kernel source is.

This research also allowed me to fix and update the link in the most-upvoted answer, which I recently did.
I've been struggling to figure out where and how to get the various Linux kernel branches, so I wanted to expound upon that and show where I learned it.
