No > need for a "Linux on the edge" distribution: you can do it right now :-) Ummmm...there is a huge proviso here: you can compile and run a 2.5 kernel as long as all your hardware has drivers written for it. A *huge* number of 2.4 drivers have yet to be ported to the newer driver model in 2.5, including one of my scsi cards. So I just have to sit and wait and see if it ever gets coded (if I could code, I would do it). jb -- Phoebe-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/phoebe-list
