2.4 kernel maintainer Marcelo Tosatti has released 2.4.22-rc1. He says:

"Here goes the first release candidate of 2.4.22. Please test it extensively. Detailed changelog below."

David Mosberger reported in a lkml mesage Linus's current bk tree (http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.5) builds and works out of the box for ia64! He adds:

"For maximum performance/stability, I'd still recommend to use the ia64-specific patches, but for someone who needs to build bleeding edge kernels for multiple architectures, being able to use Linus' tree should make it a lot easier to include ia64 in their regular testing."

Linus has released a couple of 2.6.0-test kernels now... How many KernelTrap readers are actually using it? How stable has it been for you?

(BTW: The brief README-2.6 file is somewhat humorous...)
