Hans is trying to get Reiser4 in. Depending on how much of an effect Andrew Morton (HOORAY FOR THE HOME TEAM) has on the release process, I wouldn't be surprised if it's stalled until after they stabilise (post 2.6.0 final).

Despite grabbing a snapshot (hence the -bk3), compiling with an unsupported gcc (3.3) and basically ignoring the documentation, I was disappointed to find that it Just Worked ;) Well, almost, for some reason my logitech cordless mouse's mouse wheel doesn't seem to work anymore. But otherwise, it was a painless exercise for me, but YMMV...

I was going to say I hadn't noticed any difference - but I just tried getting X to work and I can't find the right module to make /dev/psaux work :( ppp_deflate seems to be broken (I can't receive UDP packets?), but adding "nodeflate" to pppd/options works fine. otherwise I haven't noticed any problems (running it right now) :) -- - Gus -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

Check my X-Operating-System header. :-) Works well here (home desktop only), but there are some scheduling issues that make listening to ogg files and moving windows reasonably annoying. There have been some patches around to fix up those however, so I will probably try those and -test2 at some stage.
