you are telling that the wrong guy - I always use gentoo - or vanilla-sources, because I remember very well the problems of people using nitro/love sources bach in 04. Oh, and back in 2003/2004 I tried a lot of different kernels - and believe it or not: at the end, the less patched, the better were the kernels. So I stayed with gentoo or vanilla, because the rest was not better or faster, only more instabil. I am pretty much healed from straying around ;) -- gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list
