[wellylug] Anyone running a 2.6 kernel yet?

[Francois Prowse]

I'm currently running 2.6.0-test0 on a Sparc Ultra 5 and it is actually 
really usable even for an old beast running at 167 mhz. So far no noticed 
problems.....but I'm not really pushing it either. Of course it is also 
running Debian...
