I've been running 2.6.18-gentoo-r1 since 17 Oct with no problems at all. I'm subscribed to five BOINC projects and this box runs 24 hours a day on two of those at a time; also much emerging of late. -- Rgds Peter -- gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-amd64] 2.6.18 kernel
Is it just me or is the .18 kernel slow in getting unmasked? I don't recall any other releases taking as long to be marked stable, but then I haven't been quite as anxious to test a new kernel as I have been for .18. I'm sure people are running it, so I ask, how is it? Has it been stable or is it not quite ready for us 'less than hardcore' testers? -- Ceterum censeo, Carthago delenda est.

Every major upgrade of a core component has a tracker opened in bugzilla. For the 2.6.18 kernel this bug is: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=148429 Look at the bugs this one depends on to figure out if it's safe for you to try it out.
