I recently moved to gentoo-sources. Before I rolled my own from kernel.org, but since I only really need squashfs and gensplash patches, I decided to just go with the flow.

Did try zen-sources, but didn't have such a good experience with them.

Depends on the system. I'm using gentoo-sources for the desktops, suspend2 (tuxonice now I guess) for laptops, and hardened for the firewall. I used hardened on the desktops for a while. However, too many things broke. I use gentoo-sources for the servers as well. I use distcc quite a bit and I figure it's best to keep a consistent tool-chain.

I hadn't heard of zen-sources. I don't see it in portage. Is there a site that tells about it?


here you go:

2.6.26-rc2-zen0

Official thread: "zen-sources" - Part III

http://repo.or.cz/w/linux-2.6/zen-sources.git (git repo)

http://www.zen-sources.org/

on topic:

zen-sources both on my laptop + desktop :)

vanilla-sources

+ cko
+ disk_protect
+ fbcondecor
+ hz-864
+ bfq
+ iwlwifi_leds
+ tp_smapi
+ tuxonice
+ swap_prefetch
+ various hacks

I'm not sure if that can still be called a vanilla kernel :D
