That could be so, at least for production servers or other complex hardware. To my simple laptop (fujitsu c1020) I have tested 2.6.0 since test2 and after 2.6.0-test5 I haven't experience any real problems. I also have used 2.6.0 with several distros (debian, slackware, fedora) and now mdk9.2. I have always used vanilla source without initrd, only in this mdk's case I merged that supermount-patch to vanilla. I know that 2.6 has bring up some buggy code in many apps for example old kmail when used on reiserfs that andrew mentioned in vger and some chipset has turned out to be buggy too. I have never tried SUSE but heard some rumors they ship their 9.0 with 2.6? -- best rgds ~tt
