I was referring to debtools, etc with 2.8, not the kernel (I'm on 2.6.28-rc2 right now).

Hey, now. I'm 17, but still use a self-compiled and built 2.8/X/Gnome on my desktop; I run my own self-built CentOS x64 servers and can code in C#/C++/PHP/Ruby and several others. We're not all asshats who think Microsoft built their computer.
