It should be noted that the "stable" vs "unstable" refers to the
stability of the distribution, not of the machine running it. I've got
a machine tracking unstable running for over a year without problems
(but with smaller uptime due to hardware and kernel upgrades).
Potato is stable in that chang
I disagree here. Once you bastardize a perfectly good potato system
there's no easy turning back. If it is running smoothly (and there's
no reason it shouldn't) then I think you should let it keep doing well
what it does well (everything).
You'll notice no real difference to 2.4 unless you're runn
Thanks to all for the many replies!
What I'm actually worried about is the stability issue of the new
kernel 2.4.
Bunk, the author of debs for 2.4 kernel, warns that there's no
guarantee about stability because he had to use packages from unstable
to make the needed debs.
Besides I noticed that

I've a wonderful debian 2.2r3 laptop, almost perfectly set up and
working greatly and stable.
The present kernel is 2.2.19 and I compiled to tailor it (usage of
memory, needless devices, etc.) to my needs. It's all OK!
My simple question is:
Is there any advantage to upgrade my box to kernel 2.4
