Hi All, |

I've committed linux-2.4.0.11-r3 and linux-sources-2.4.0.11-r3 to portage |
| 4 |
(sys-kernel category). This is the 2.4.0-ac11 kernel with various patches |
| 5 |
added, including lm_sensors, the latest (2 days old) LVM fixes and tools, and |
| 6 |
the latest reiserfs support. |

|

There are a couple notable things about this kernel. First, it's really fast |
| 9 |
(thanks to the sheer quantity of improvements in ac11). Secondly, this is the |
| 10 |
most recent version of the kernel we have. There are some 2.4.1 kernels on |
| 11 |
Portage, but these are Linus kernels and are older than 2.4.0.11-r3. So be |
| 12 |
careful :) |
| 13 |
|

An excellent way to start using the new kernel is to merge the linux-sources |
| 15 |
ebuild -- then you can simply "cd /usr/src/linux" and configure, compile and |
| 16 |
install the new kernel and modules and give it a try. |
