What other distribution than updated Fedora 3 uses 2.6.10-x?

No. Check this:
http://antennspecialisten.se/~sm5bsz/linuxdsp/install/distrib2.htm

The kernel is 2.6.5-7-145-default. It fixes the crasch on usage
of memlockall and Linrad works fine with svgalib-1.9.19.

There should be no difference at all on a Pentium IV. The multi-threading
will just make the same code much easier to work with for others, but
the results should not change at all. 

Later on I hope a better structure will bring others into the project
as well as make it easier for others to pick algorithms for GNU-radio
and warious other SDR projects. Some day we might even have a Windows 
version of Linrad:-)
