    I've been running the 2.6 test for a while and the latest O1int patches from con have really made this a pleasure for desktop users. 2.6-test3-mm2 had massive skips when playing xmms and untaring, like 2.4 also has on my machine. But 2.6-test4-mm1 completely fixed this. I have not had a skip yet. Please not that this is from normal usage.

    No he is not, he is the boss of the 2.6 releases.

    Building a Custom Kernel.

    enjoy!

    i tried several times to compile a kernel on redhat until i realized that they have changed things a bit, and you need to follow their docs.
