Firstly, thanks to all the responses helping me to get the (EXPERIMENTAL) out of the way... Now, is reiserfs the same as ext3? if not, what's the diff/best? Also, concerning the patches I only once attempted to patch a kernel and it came out a beeeeeg messup. I'm not very sure about the procedure, I always untar my new kernel in /opt and then rename the linux folder to the version number ( sometimes have 4 or 5 kernels, so need to distinguish...) Lets say I have a /opt/247 kernel source , how exactly would I patch it and with which of the patches? Do you patch the 247 kernel with the 247 patch, or do you patch it with a higher version, and if so, how many "steps" can you go higher? Sorry for the ignorance, but hey, atleast i'm willing to learn!
