unstable...

I can't argue with that. Though I am a bit puzzled. Isn't the even numbered kernels supposed to be stable? When are they going to fork a new unstable series and clean up the current "stable" one? Has anyone heard?

Uh, 2.6.9 is out.

Right now I'm using 2.6.8.1-ck9 and I find it very good.


but it is still marked as testing


I wouldn't know. I use CK sources which are allways ~x86.


CK is all arches, not just x86.

It's "ebuild nitro-sources-2.6.9_rc4-r2.ebuild digest" you should run, not "emerge nitro-sources-2.6.9_rc4-r2.ebuild digest"

From my experience vanilla + your own special blend of patches is best.

Code:

(mike@tokyo)-(~) $ uname -a
Linux tokyo 2.6.9-ml1 #2 Fri Oct 22 12:35:34 EDT 2004 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2000+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux


Oh yeah.

2.6.9-cko1
It's fast(& responsive), stable (for me atleast), and functional (reiser4, gensplash, vesafb-tng etc)

EDIT: you could probably also use 2.6.9-ck1 (which is the same but without the extra functionality) which is in portage
