so I rest my case vs shrink wrap.
OTOH one of the first things I do after trying a new distribution is
to replace the kernel by the latest and greatest, at least for the box
at home and mine at work.
I think I know what I am doing, or suffer otherwise. Those who want to
upgrade their kernels have a choice between vendor suplied rpms, debs,
tar.gz´s or the one and only from [ftp|http]//ftp.**.kernel.org. If they
choose the latter, I would presume they are able to patch that one to
their liking.
OK I confess I usually chicken out and wait for those who_really_
know what they are doing, to supply their patches to the mainstream
kernel.
What I am trying to say is that I am perfectly happy to wait until the
maintainers integrate the code into the mainstream kernel.
