I was very gently nudged...told that "I should stick w/ 2.4.21-behnxxxxx, as
that's cutting edge for powerpc." I have to admit that I'm rather indignant
about this "advice." (on this list, no less!) However, I have been told via
irc that woody doesn't have a sufficient tool chain to properly compile
2.6.0-testx kernel yet, and elsewhere that the linux kernel is now an
exclusive community of only developers, and that us peons who want vanilla
kernels to compile for their (non-i386) platforms just have to wait.
