The only thing that I haven't gotten to work is USB hotplug for my USB memory stick. Apparently there's been a change in the procfs filenames, and that affects the hotplug system. Thomer's page describes a way to set that up but I haven't gotten the time to try that out yet. Other than that everything else worked perfectly (ECN defaulted to 1 causing connectivity problems with my linksys router. had to explicitly set it to 0 in sysctl.conf).

test11 is the last of the test series of 2.6 kernel series after which it should really go into production level stability as told by Linus Torvalds in a recent conference but i read somewhere that 2.5 kernel was a hot candidate for stable system releases. I dont remember exactly which release it said about. Also Redhat has announced that they dont expect to move the 2.6 series into their servers forat least a year and will continue with 2.4 . SuSe on the otherhand has announced 2.6 to be in their next release.
