Re: [ANNOUNCE] WOLK v1.0 for Kernel v2.6.3

Maybe it's time we talk about kernel 2.6.x then.  Question, is it really
ready for production?  I mean, coming from us here who have run WOLK in
production, is there really a compelling reason now to consider moving to
2.6, or 2.6-WOLK?

It would be nice if those who have tried 2.6 can give their observations
on how 2.6.x runs in comparison to  2.4-WOLK.

When you get the opportunity, please take a look at the gentoo-dev-sources (Gentoo's "official" flavour of 2.6). You can get the latest patch (as of the time of writing) here, which applies to vanilla:
