All of my machines (except my server) have been using 2.6 for at least a few
weeks now (some since 2.6.0-test1 came out), and NPTL since it was enabled in
glibc (great work, by the way!). I'd like to see 2.6 as the default along with
an ISO (but after 1.0 most likely) as 2.6 fixes quite a few problems and is
/really/ fast.
