Do you have links on this information, or personal experience ? I have been using 3.2 compiled kernels without problems, and so has anyone using Dan's kernel-image package, since they were built with 3.2 and 3.3 since a long time. I personnaly bellieve you should use either 2.95 or 3.2/3.3 today. Friendly, Sven Luther
