[64studio-devel] 64studio 2.0-rc2 is out

rc2 images installed fine here, both versions. There does seem to be a 
problem with network lock-ups for a minority of machines running the 
2.6.21-rt kernel. It only happens when downloading large files, for 
instance when doing a 64studio-upgrade. Things like pinging a host don't 
cause the lock-up.

I'd really appreciate if everyone running 2.6.21 could try a 
64studio-upgrade so we can discover which machines are vulnerable.  I 
tested a 32-bit Via C3 with an RTL 8139 card and it had the lock up, but 
was fine with 2.6.19. A 64-bit HP laptop with an RTL 8139 was also fine, 
so this may only affect 32-bit kernels.

I've gone for 'Electric', after Steve Albini's studio. I was a big fan 
of Surfer Rosa by the Pixies when I was at school, a record that Albini 
made late in 1987.

Cheers!
