Not if you can configure it _for_ your hardware ok. That can be a bit of a chore the first time, but gets easier over time. I have rarely run the stock supplied kernel for more than 2-3 days after a system upgrade, preferring to run a bit closer to the "Oops, there be blood" kernels, currently running a 2.6.22-rc6-cfs-v18 kernel here that I just rebuilt again with a small patch for the Future Domain Tech usb-serial adaptors to see if it fixes a little nag in how heyu runs here. >Does fedora add some features to fedora specific kernel contained in rpm > package? They may well, but I've yet to encounter a _real_ problem here because of that, and I've been running bleeding edge home built kernels for 8 or 9 years now. >Regards, >Pawel. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
