Hi all.
I was wondering if anyone knows of a distro that is using the kernel 2.6.39? I believe its at the moment in release candidate form and was wanting to use it on my scratch box.:banana:

Hello and Welcome.
If these guys don't have it, it doesn't exist. You may have to compile it yourself if you want it bad enough though.

cheers :) i was on the verge of compiling it myself, was just curious if there were any distros that may use it, say an experimental distro. I am highly guessing the answer would be no, but you never know unless you ask the question!
gentoo has it in their repo
Gentoo Packages /category/sys-kernel/
Possibly other source based distros as well.
I think it would be better to use "latest stable version" rather than going for dev. releases which may contain bugs or unresolved issues in it :D
Lakshmipathi, you are correct of course for (at least) anything close to a production environment.
But agarrett5 is using phrases like "experimental", "scratch box", "verge of compiling it myself".
So why not? :)
Yes,he can use them I don't have any issues with it :D but the latest stable release was dated as "2011-05-02" ,just 2 days back. Mostly on dev-release some patches might be reverted back or included and those won't have tested properly. Anyway its his choice :DQuote:

It's ready to use - no compiling necessary. But obviously all of the above caveats apply.
You can also get it from Ubuntu.
