Anyone on the list using the 2.6 kernel? if so what's the general opinion of it?
I've been using 2.6.0-test9 in a VMware virtual machine for the past few days. It's got Debian Unstable running it it (exactly the same version as running on the host machine, as we have a local mirror). I'm impressed. Mozilla, for example, was quicker at loading, rendering, scrolling and such in the VM than the same version of Mozilla running on the host.
I'll most likely wait until 2.6.2 is released before switching my main machine over to it, though - experience tells me they get a flurry of bug fixes in after .0 and .1 :)
