    I actually got the file approx. two hours ago, I guess I was lucky.

    There's some new stuff in there that should fix cpufreq for my laptop, so I couldn't be happier. It's building right now. On my 450 Celeron/64MB.

    I'll report back... tomorrow.*sigh*

  2. Great! by Pan+T.+Hose · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I have downloaded 2.6.5 on a remote experimental 386 server connected with 14kbps modem, and I've just finished a painful (interactive, due to very little memory) multiple-day building process... *sigh*

  3. 2.6.6 has been out for a while by Theatetus · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Ummm... I upgraded to 2.6.6-rc1 a while ago (April 16 according to /proc/version), and it had already been out a few days. Given that there probably aren't big differences between rc1 and rc3, I'd imagine any nvidia b0rkage has been present in rc1 and rc2 also, and available for about a month.
