Gentoo is officially moving towards 2.6 kernel, and the distinction between "linux-headers" and "linux26-headers" made sense in the 2.4 era: the names made it clear that 2.4 was the "official" kernel, while 2.6 was the "development/experimental" kernel. This is no more the case, so "linux26-headers" is being renamed to simply "linux-headers". -- Reporter (to Mahatma Gandhi): Mr Gandhi, what do you think of Western Civilization?
