I'm ready to compile a new kernel, moving up from 2.0.36 after just upgrading to potato. Searching the archives showed one letter recently espousing 2.2.11, but little else was found. I'm on a home system with no fancy stuff (486-66, SB16Vibra and an HP scanner/Adapt. 152x card). When (IF) I upgrade at work I'll need Olicom token-ring support (need to check with them re: this) and a working dhcp client (ISC's version works right now).
Does anyone have strong misgivings about the 2.2.x kernels? If 2.2.11 Is the greatest, is there a deb package? I'd far prefer that over anything else, as I teach chemistry as a career, not CS. :) Thanks for any input! Kenward
