-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I was very gently nudged...told that "I should stick w/ 2.4.21-behnxxxxx, as that's cutting edge for powerpc." I have to admit that I'm rather indignant about this "advice." (on this list, no less!) However, I have been told via irc that woody doesn't have a sufficient tool chain to properly compile 2.6.0-testx kernel yet, and elsewhere that the linux kernel is now an exclusive community of only developers, and that us peons who want vanilla kernels to compile for their (non-i386) platforms just have to wait.
