[Asterisk-Users] Which Linux ?

Has anyone who has gotten Asterisk to run on the 2.6 kernel tested whether
it is any faster/more-efficient at running Asterisk than 2.4?

Well, I will tell you, but I'll then have to kill you...  Lucky for you 
I have no clue who you are or where you reside :)

The incantation I used is:
make linux26

That machine isn't running right now so I can't double-check it, but I 
don't recall having to do anything out of the ordinary.  I do remember 
banging my head for a while before I remembered that there is a 
different build sequence for the 2.6 kernel...

If this doesn't work for you, let me know and when I have a chance I'll 
fire that system up and give it another go-'round...
