Just a quick note I picked up about a week ago on the Linus v PPC debate. It is looking like 2.4.3 from Alan will finally be up to date for the PPC. It is only one step, but a huge one.

Thanks

v2.4.2-ac9 is in sync with our tree. It compiles and boots so we look to
be in good shape for a v2.4.3 that works correctly WRT Linux/PPC.
