Just booted into the new 2.6.1 kernel (on my mandrake 9.2 laptop). :) it does feel a bit smoother but that could be my imagination. Afterall I haven't really done anything to test the features of the new kernel. sound and wireless worked as they say out of the box [well had to run drakconnect for conf n/w but big deal clicking next ... next ... a few times ;) ]

Simple "for dummies" instructions can be found at http://easymamecab.mameworld.net/html/mandrake.htm

Various tests on 2.6 are at http://www.infoworld.com/infoworld/article/04/01/30/05FElinux_1.html , thanks to /. for that one.

Don't forget to grab the latest module-init-tools 0.9.14 as of this writing. They load both 2.4 and 2.6 style modules.

On to kde 3.2 now ... it's release today. :) :)
