I'm using DL with kernel 2.6. In comparison with DL 1.2 (2.4 kernel) there are
some advantages - more hardware supportable, some packages are on frontier of
technology (active-active firewall), more options for netfilter, AoE (and iSCSI
in the nearest future) and some disadvantages - absence of grsecurity
patch/selinux, some packages are not up-to-date...

My opinion is: DL is not an alpha/beta version already, but full-featured
release candidate. And the testing in this phase is especially important.
If I check-in the latest changes (new kernel in the main) and ask Heiko to
create iso file will anybody test it?
