Would this stable version be as stable as the unstable early days of the 2.4 release? I fear that releasing 2.6 as stable would only "encourage" freesoft developers and the occasional company (e.g. nVidia and its binary-only 3D drivers) to stop supporting 2.4. My main concerns revolve around video and optical storage. I've read many horror stories about the ide-scsi stuff being "broken" in 2.6. Is this true? I've also read that devfs is now deprecated. In favor of what? Is there a definitive switcher's howto or readme (URI) I should consult? I'd usually use google for this. But as the issue's still new, I expect to get lots of false positives (including flamewar threads on the direction of kernel development). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
