If memory serves me, rhl.redhat.com used to have the following information:
Cambridge will not have 2.6 Cambridge++ will have 2.6 if its ready (i.e. they'll put it in if its ready, but won't hold up the release for it).
I'm assuming Cambridge is what'll come out September, and Cambridge++ is what'll be out Spring 2004.

Almost certainly not. However you can start testing it now by getting test 2.6 kernels at http://people.redhat.com/arjanv/2.5/ , and if you read the recent up2date posts, they will tell you how to get up2date to get packages from this site.

In connection with the subject of 2.6, I have to say that arjan's 2.6.0-test3 on my severn box is noticeably snappier than the 2.4 kernel - it's really fun to use such a responsive desktop. But alas, the video capture card doesn't seem to work with 2.5+, so my multimedia stuff still has to be done under 2.4. The performance of the 2.6 test kernel has me really drooling though - I'm looking forward to seeing it in production.

Which card ?
It's a linux media labs lintv card -
Here's what I see when I attempt to start xawtv: ... This is xawtv-3.88, running on Linux/i686 (2.6.0-0.test3.1.31) can't open /dev/video0: No such device v4l-conf had some trouble, trying to continue anyway v4l2: open /dev/video0: No such device v4l2: open /dev/video0: No such device v4l: open /dev/video0: No such device no video grabber device available ...
Here are the relevant lines from lspci: 00:0b.0 Multimedia video controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Video Capture (rev 02) 00:0b.1 Multimedia controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Audio Capture (rev 02)
If you've got some thoughts on this, I'm all ears!

It should be working if its a Brootktree card - see what "modprobe bttv" and "dmesg" show

Ah, I let myself be tripped up by a newbie gotcha - after I manually modprobed bttv and trident (sound) everything works as advertised. I guess the only nit here is the failure to do 2.4 style module autoloading, but heck, this isn't bad.
Thanks for the pointer!

Cambridge++ is meant to be Cambridge using the 2.6 kernel, with the intent that it will be released soon after 2.6 is available and hopefully well before the normal 6 month cycle brings us the Spring 2004 release. So Cambridge++ could end up coming out 2 months after Cambridge, or earlier, or later, depending on 2.6
