The laptop it runs on works for enuf stuff not to want to try upgrading it - I just have to remember to wget anything big! I'm not a great believer in upgrading willy-nilly. Apart from drivers theres very little of use to me (other than bug/security fixes) in most upgrades since Kernel 2.0. On a tangent here - has anyone heard of a kernel configuration tool that can look at your current configuration - ie tell what modules you've got loaded and then use that to compile the kernel so you dont have anything you dont need in it without running through 20,000 options some of which require a PhD in computing or a pan galactic gargle blaster to make sense of?
