I am running 2.6.0-test2 on my desktop. I took the patches from arjvan's
source rpm, leaving out the test1-bk1 patch since was basically a
pre-test2 patch. I also included Ingo's scheduler patch for test1. This
fixed issues with xmms skipping when doing cpu intensive things. Since I
started using this kernel yesterday xmms hasn't skipped once. I used G6,
and it looks like G7 is now out.
