I was reading the following Information Week article:
http://www.informationweek.com/story/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=10100565&pgno=2

------------------------------------------------
Linux is likely to make inroads in the enterprise with the release later
this year of the 2.6 kernel, tuned for use with databases, Witham says.
Changes to the Linux 2.6 kernel will let programs access more data with
greater reliability and run heavier processing loads. It will improve the
performance of databases on eight- and 16-way symmetric multiprocessor
servers, include new file systems that provide faster access to data with
greater reliability, and make it easier to manage and configure storage on
large arrays.
------------------------------------------------

Are there plans to have Postgresql take advantage of the new Linux 2.6
kernel?
