Hello,
I'm currently running kernel 2.6.25 and I have no issues with it so I don't
really want to upgrade it just yet. I just picked up
sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.6.27-r2, so I thought I'd mask out anything above
2.6.25 for now to keep the headers in sync with the kernel that I'm running.
You don't need to have them in sync. The safest is to have a version
that is either equal or lower to your kernel. So for you, 2.6.23-r3 is
perfectly fine. An exception is if you're using a recent glibc (2.9);
you'll need to build it against more recent headers.
