Im going to try and switch mine over to the 2.6.x family, and I was wondering anyone had done the same, and if so, what I should be on the lookout for?
Distribution: Debian Jessie, FreeBSD 10.1 anything *nix to get my fix

2.6 kernel
Hi, im no kernel hacker, but i came across someone in a thread who had done the same thing with slackware. Take a look at this post, maybe this person can help you..
i tried compiling 2.6.3 on mdk 9.1 and ran into many problems...
first i tried the official sources of 2.6.2 which messed everything up, so i had to do a clean install of 9.1! i then tried the mkd rpm of 2.6.3. the dependencies are very difficult to satisfy. eventually i went to the 2.6.3 source and at the moment i have a running system. for the dependencies i just uninstalled the mdk packages and installed various updated sources of modules-init-tools etc etc. now it is ok but it seems generally slower than before and i still cant get my radeon 9600 drivers to find the agp on my nforce2 properly!
