I am using it on more than one box and i spoke with some people that have no problems either. Again: I think vanilla should reflect the state of kernel.org. I did not hear any person i spoke to that had problems with 2.6 so that he/she stayed with 2.4 except one using some proprietary modules. I too run gentoo on servers and I won't move to 2.6 in the near future, but I indeed think it should go to vanilla. And there are many testers i think. Note: I did not request to push gentoo-sources to 2.6 but the vanilla-sources. 2.6.0 is no development-sources anymore since Linus released it. I am sure there are problems with it as with lots of new versions of other software. In my opinion gentoo-sources should be the fully compatible and so on but vanilla should be vanilla as it comes from kernel.org. -- Christian Gut <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
