Well, i started downloading the gentoo-dev-sources 2.6.3_rc2 kernel to play with a bit just a couple minutes ago... but i've been using 2.6.2 for a few weeks now with few issues. Only thing i've really had a problem with is that my mouse (Logitech MX700) seems to act up sometimes...which i cant duplicate...seems to be quite random. I've noticed a decent GUI responsiveness increase (Entrance login, Enlightenment WM, gtk2 themes) from 2.4, and i also use pre-emptive kernels (like i saw someone else say) haven't done any benchmarks, but just in daily use, 2.6 feels faster to me -- Brendan Sullivan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
