workstations to 2.9.6. all seems well for my.
and i'm now seriously considering to use 2.6.$LATEST for my new server.

I'm using the stock 2.6.7 kernel from Slackware.com which I installed
against Slackware 10 with Dropline Gnome to get Gnome 2.8. Its a very
easy install (no need to compile a kernel) and works well, I've had no
major problems so far. DVD Burning works fine, no problems with PCI
Soundblaster, NVIDIA graphics card, USB mouse and keyboard.

My laptop's nvidia card (GeForce FX Go 5200) had a minor problem
with the latest (v66.29) nvidia driver under 2.6.9. But it worked
fine with 2.6.8.1 and is working great with 2.6.10-rc3.

Buggy, ime. I keep getting random lockups. But it all depends on your
hardware.

Not very many. Might be a few problems.

Probably a good idea to at least upgrade to 2.4.28

Oki Thanks for the tips
now a get 2.6.9 installed but I think iam going down to
2.6.7 becuase I only can burn cd's in root with 2.6.9
but the 2.6.9 kernel seems to works fine with my hardware.. :-)

About 2.6.7 !!
Where can I find some bug patches for the kernel

For me /dev/tty became a directory instead of a device file. This
caused less (and thus man pages) to fail. The problem was traced to a
faulty udev rule. After I upgraded to the udev which was then in
slackware-current (udev-035), I had no more problems.

You're best bet is the linux kernel mailing list. Barring that, some
distributions may have backported bug fixes to 2.6.7 so a search of
their public ftp and cvs servers might be beneficial. Back-porting
fixes to the kernel in the 2.6 branch currently looks to me like a huge
headache. The 2.6 kernel doesn't have a stable development path and
large amounts of code are likely to change at any given time, so an
issue fixed in 2.6.10rc2 may not easily backport to 2.6.7.
