I do the bulk of development on my laptop, and while I do have another box (iMac), I am doing KDE development and zcip development on it too. I used to have a SMP box for kernel development, but it had to go into production use. I am getting a new scratch box, but it is a week or two away...
2.5 contains the following things that worry me a bit: o in 2.5.1+ Rewrite of the block IO (bio) layer o in 2.5.2 Per-process namespaces, late-boot cleanups o in 2.5.3 IDE layer update o in 2.5.3+ New driver model & unified device tree o in 2.5.4 Add preempt kernel option I have consulted with some other maintainers, and the general concensus is to hold on 2.5 for anything you care about. So I'll probably pick up 2.5 around 2.5.12, depending on what else goes in, and reports of data corruption on IDE disks...
