    My question is, will it boot up Apple's OSX Server?

    I don't know about that, but I know that this does.

    "why is RedHat STILL not using the current stable kernel series?"

    You obviously missed the story that 2.6 is NOT stable, and the whole 2.6 tree is never supposed to reach the level of stability. All version of Linux are -unstable now...

    But perhaps more directly to the point... why should they use 2.6? The scheduler may be improved, but that alone isn't serious enough to warrant an upgrade.

    There's still plenty of kernel modules that aren't working or just aren't stable on 2.6.
