New kernel out finally
http://www.kernel.org/mirrors/

Seems like it should improve performance under disk load. I'll throw it on later this week when I get debian reinstalled.

So who's guess by when a new distro will utilize the new kernal?

I know you die hards have time to put in the new kernal, I just don't have the time to do such a thing...

I'd guess it will be a while.

Once you get the config down it's fairly quick and painless to recompile the kernel, it's just getting the config down that's a bit of a pain

From my box:

Yes, but that was the alpha release. This is the final. Mandrake shipped with alpha2 or something.
