Re: which 2.6 kernel will be in sarge?
For the record, 2.6.10 is a lemon. It has serious problems with
intel-agp driver. If you have a computer that uses such driver for agp
(a lot of us do) all you have to do is leave the computer running for
a number of days and you will know what i mean.
If you look at the changelog for 2.6.11 you will see what the root of
the problem lies. Please do not use 2.6.10. Wait for 2.6.11 or use
2.6.9, which is probably the best so far. (Xandros 3 is using 2.6.9
and so do other distros). (And yes I know Xandros is debian-based).
