Configure, compile, install, and reboot to it. If you haven't learned yet how to compile a kernel, now's a good time to learn. As to the userland software, in my case I haven't bothered to build for my distro yet as I haven't really needed it on this laptop. I'm sure there are improvements there, as well, but first you need to get the kernel right IMHO. Ciao, Dave
