Hello?  Hello?  Is anyone alive out there?

Is anybody testing the Sapphire and Emerald release candidates?
We don't have much time left if we want to get the bugfix version

Well, i am already working on "Ruby", since 2.3.51 will not work
on any of my systems for various reasons...  Hopefully 2.3.52
will bring at least enable my laptop to test the stuff, i am just
now compiling 2.3.52-2 to see if there are any improvements.

Could you provide a short description on how to check them out?  I
don't think I have the address and stuff quite right.

Yes. I have a test plus their was some problem with fbdev breaking
some things. Since 2.4.X is so close it will be removed. Post the patches
on the kernel mailing list. Have peopel try them and then send them to
linus. It has bug fixes so it will go over big with Linus.
