In general it is a good idea to run the =20 linux base with the kernel version it is running natively. So far the =20 2.6 emulation is not a stable replacement of the 2.4 emulation. So the =20 change Roman is proposing will not happen soon. If 7.0 will ship with =20 2.6 as the default (i386 _&_ amd64), the linux base port will be =20 change in a suitable way, but until we _know_ (instead of hope) that =20 7.0 will ship with 2.6 as the default, we have a lot of work/tests to =20 do.
