I agree with you. 2.6.0 still has too many problems, not suitable for
multi user systems (security), and has other big problems as well. OK, I
also lied (what's the past tense of lie? I always forget), as I have
problems with 2.6.0:
- one machine has boot problems with LVM2, I have to wait an extra ~30
secs, as it tries to open my cdrom (without any medium in it). It
fails, wait, and retry about 20 times. If I put a cd into it, then it
fails immediately and continue;
- on my laptop I can not burn a cd if it exceeds ~400M. It burns for a
while, and then just freeze the machine. Small cd burning is ok, and
also ok if I reboot to 2.4.23. So I burn cd on an other computer. :-|
But no other problem really. Anyway, I _do agree with you strongly_:
2.6.0 is not for widespread yet. I will switch at ~2.6.10 on my servers,
depending the fixes get in by that time. Until then I use
2.4.23+grsecurity.
Cheers,
GCS
