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).
