Yes, 0.59 was officially tagged but never actually uploaded. If someone wants to create an RPM from the tag that'd be great.
I'd go with 0.59.1 like Mark mentioned, so we get anything newer that has gone in, like the STACKSIZE variable, which I believe is newer.
I'm pursuing Gentoo because I absolutely hate RPMs. I use Gentoo on all my other platforms too. So for me, it's a natural choice. But certainly feel free to pick patches etc, but I send all my stuff upstream so the packages build out-of-the-box. So we'll all benefit regardless, but it's merely a matter of personal choice for folks.
I can definitely say I agree with you on RPMs at some points.
PS: I vote for Alan as a new kernel leader. He's already been performing this role anyway.I'm quite happy to do this and will certainly be making a release soon of the kernel with our thanks to Frank.
Sweet, thank you! Keith
