I'd recommend the latest, 2.6.31, or even 2.6.32-rcX if you want to. |

I'd like to get some people to test with Radeon kernel modesetting, so |

at least .31 is required for that. |

I've been working on Alpha-related stuff for about a year and a half |
25 |
and have sent emails to linux-alpha@ (the kernel mailing list), |
26 |
axp-list, the RH alpha mailing list, debian-alpha@, but the Gentoo |
27 |
mailing lists looked unused, so I never mailed them before. Too bad. |
