I'm having very good success with gentoo-sources-2.6.15-r1. I have it |
| 26 |
running on a pair of V210s. The only problem I've had is SMP doesn't |
| 27 |
work, which I've been told I can fix by playing with the way RAM is |
| 28 |
installed, but I've yet to try that. |

If you do decided to give it a spin, you'll need to install udev and a |
| 31 |
curent linux-headers. |
