Why is SUSE going to use the 2.6.8 kernel?! The reports on 2.6.8 AREN'T good!! Why not 2.6.7....it was stable?! If 2.6.8 is used, it's going to be a VERY non-standard kernel!
It's not 2.6.8, it's 2.6.8+a ton of patches. You can see for yourself in /pub/projects/kernel on teh ftp site, which is where the suse kernel foments. Among other things, you can burn CDs as non-root, which is one of the main problems people have with 2.6.8 (well, it's the main problem I had with it)
BTW, what exactly is a standard kernel, if 2.6.8 is a "non-standard" one?
What I meant was a highly SUSE patched kernel. Why not 2.6.7? Fred -- "Running Windows on a Pentium is like getting a Porsche but only being able to drive it in reverse with the handbrake on."
