Overview in short:

- Better (TM) memory management
- All important subsystems now basically work O(1)
- More (and better) USB drivers
- Very good build system
- Still some work to be done to make it well-running on my VAX
  computers.

Thanks. that is correct.
 
If there are drivers that are running on 2.4 will it work as it is on kernel 2.6 or will there be any port issues,
has there any study carried out for that, please let me know.
 
Thanks and Regards
Deepak

I have found:

http://www.sao.ru/hq/sts/linux/doc/porting_to_26/26porting.html

invaluable in developing/modifying drivers for the 2.6 kernel.

OK. I guess much more is needed to be published on this
