Gentoo Linux 2004.0
I'm running 2.6.3 on my gentoo system with no real problems. I adjusted the linux-headers package to use the 2.6.3 headers, and installed the new module-init-tools. I also had to build the most recent (and "masked") version of XFree86 (but before the license change) for 3D accel to work.
Overall I found switching to 2.6 much less painful than the persistent Qt link problems. The "current" Qt package (as of last week or so) writes temporary paths into the shared libs. If portage "happens" to keep the build tree, you're in luck. If not, KDE won't build. I didn't use KDE much, and now I don't use it at all. Some Gnome packages are regularly messy, too. Kernel 2.6 was not particularly messy, though.
