2.6 is not for me at the moment, at least on my Sun box, due to the lack of
user-friendly interfaces to compile a kernel that's quite new to me. (as I
stated some messages ago, menuconfig and xconfig are a no-go in 2.6. (I
wonder where the classic motif xconfig went, since it works in 2.4) :).
For sure I can use make config or make oldconfig, but even if I have a
sufficiently strong experience in compiling 2.2 and 2.4 kernels, I still feel
a bit of fear with 2.6, especially because I have no working 2.4.x custom
.config to start from, I'll try rc and see what happens.
I used the stock unstable kernel, however, to compile 2.6 on ix86
successfully, so your assertion is valid.
