2.6 may be stable, but on my laptop I can't use it. I still have a funky wireless card that doesn't yet have a finished 2.6 driver. I have everything working fine with Mepis installed to harddrive and the wireless card auto loading at boot. If I were to get some newer hardware I might try 2.6, but for now it's not necessary.

FYI: 2.6 is not a development kernel, per definition. 2.6 is the current "stable" kernel and 2.4 is the "deprecated" (or whatever they call it) kernel. I've had no major issues with 2.6, but not something I would use on a production machine. IIRC, there is no current development kernel? There is no 2.7 right? Any ideas when if they are going to begin work on the next development kernel? Or are they just going to keep tweaking 2.6 until it's really stable? Did they pull a Microsoft on us with 2.6? What's your /opinion?

What kernel are you running? Is it a 2.6? I still use 2.4

I was running 2.6.9 and am currently using 2.4.28 on my gentoo system while I enjoy my USB mp3 player. I'm going to wait until 2.6 becomes a bit more mature as work is eating up most of my spare time.
