Recently ? As for Kernel 2.6 there has always been too much
development for a stable release IMO, so I still prefer 2.4,
but that's a solely personal opinion. On the other hand, 2.6
has been quite stable for me (desktop and devel-stress-testing).

Testing ?
FWIW, I've just completed another page about the vanilla vs.
preempt_rt thing:
http://www.captain.at/howto-linux-real-time-patch.php
If you have the one or another additional stress test, I'd be more
than happy to add it to the page.

Thanks and best regards,
Hannes.
