Camasii said:I'm running 2.6 on my laptop under Gentoo and I have to say it runs very smoothly. I used to be a slackware user and switching over to gentoo was one of the best things I ever did. Check it out, the install is a bit complicated (do a stage3 if you're confused) but in the end it's worth having for portage, a system that automatically downloads, configures, compiles, and installs programs for you. It's a pretty basic install, you have to emerge (the command to use portage) X11 and Gnome\KDE\*box and everything else you need but theres lots of docs and such on the website, www.gentoo.org

rpm-apt works well to.penguin said:If running an RPM based distro (RH, Suse, Mandrake) the is a proggy called YUM that does this.

But as you said, everything works fine, so I'm not too bothered. It might have something to do with the fact that some of the modules are now loaded in the kernel itself. Not quite sure what the problem is.
