Well you're right about that. The current portage tree, in fact, has |
| 16 |
2.6.34-r6 as the stable release. |

I run a couple of small businesses, one of which (my music biz) requires |
| 19 |
me to periodically do some traveling, so I'm away and pretty busy a lot. |

My pattern has been to get my various Gentoo and Ubuntu systems into a |
| 21 |
stable state and leave them, especially my desktop, since I'm often |
| 22 |
critically strapped for time, and tinkering with Linux gets pushed to a |
| 23 |
back burner. |

I'll probably get kernel 2.6.34, update udev, and give it another shot. |
