Damn! I just recompiled my 2.4.20 kernel again last night. Probably at the exact same time they released 2.6.0! :lol:

Anyway, I wonder if ebuilds for 2.6.0-gentoo are out yet... *surfs over to www.gentoo.org to find out*

I wouldn't run 2.6 just yet. Just because it's marked stable, doesn't mean it actually is stable. I'll start using it when 2.6.10 comes out.

That could be a year from now. The thing has already gone through 11 test versions and countless devel versions. Having used it for the past 6 months, I can say that it is now stable. Why would you wait?

Can you give me more information about this uptime project? I've never heard of it. All of a sudden I'm seeing dozens of people with that thing in their sigs.

Sweet. I hope that Gentoo will add ebuilds for differently patched flavours of this baby. I've been using the last beta for a while now, and I don't think that they've perfected it since then. But in january, it should be sweet & ready to kick some behind :)

I don't know what your definition of stable is but I've been on the 2.6 series since test6 and it hasn't crashed once.

Wow! How long does it usually take to compile?

Mine's been going for about an hour and it looks like it's not gonna stop anytime soon.... :wacko:

It depends on your system and how many modules you're compiling. It usually takes a while..

Yay i run windows so i dont have to spend all f'ing night compiling !!!!!

yay, you're using a generic kernel that is not optimized so you're not using your system to your full potential!
