I know. I am a little scared to do it. But the other option is I start
from scratch with FC2 if I want all the 2.6 enhancements.

The only one I am aware of is the Native Posix Thread Library (NPTL).
Do you know which other features were backported to RHL9?

The one which I was hoping to get was the Scheduler support for
hyperthreaded CPUs. I know that the new scheduler is able to discern
between virtual and real cpus and therefore schedules processes
optimally on Hyperthreaded CPU's. I have a dual Xeon at my school so
this feature would be welcome.
