I'm having very good success with gentoo-sources-2.6.15-r1. I have it running on a pair of V210s. The only problem I've had is SMP doesn't work, which I've been told I can fix by playing with the way RAM is installed, but I've yet to try that. If you do decided to give it a spin, you'll need to install udev and a curent linux-headers. Mike -- [email protected] mailing list
