I just got my SL-5600 (last week) and I was wondering why we only have a very old kernel (2.4.18 was released in feb. 2002). I saw the is some one "working" on the 2.6 kernel, but there is to much feature missing. Wouldn't it be better to have a more recent kernel? I know the "if it works, don't touch it" philosophy, but some time the "if it works, why not break it, just for the fun of it" can be interesting if we can have some new features, optimisation, fixes, more hardware support, ....
