Hello,
It seems Linux 2.6.32 will be a long term supported stable release, 
ending up in multiple distros.. 
Distros that are probably going to use it:
 - Debian 6.0 ("Squeeze") 
 - Ubuntu 10.04 LTS ("Lucid Lynx")
 - RHEL6
Please correct me if I'm wrong :)
kernel.org developers are also going to make 2.6.32 a long-term stable release.
(announced yesterday).
The most interesting of those is Debian 6.0, since it looks like it'll ship 
pv_ops dom0 kernel..
but they need 2.6.32 based tree for that to happen :)
