I generally run -aa on my home and office workstations, as well as the web/mail/dns/squid/firewall servers I manage. I find I get 95% of the benefits of the bleeding edge, with 5% of the effort - for instance: untar 2.4.18 apply 2.4.19-pre2 patch apply 2.4.19-pre2aa1 patch * configure, compile, boot and enjoy. * for nvidia drivers, back out xfs and 20_pte-highmem patches Joe - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
