Just thought of something to discuss on a friday ;)
What kernels are you running at work/home? And what patches did you apply to it?
At work, I'm running Con Kolivas patchset to 2.4 (http://members.optusnet.com.au/ckolivas/kernel/ ) as well on my mini itx at home.
I was running 2.5/6 for a while with andrew morton's patchset and felt that I was being too far on the bleedin' edge ;)

I'm the opposite to bleeding edge...my dual boot laptop is running kernel 2.4.18-3 and readhat 7.3. I have been thinking of upgrading the redhat version I run but have been put off as I have most things working on it. Are there any advantages to me upgrading to the latest redhat or will it grind a bit on my 1GHz laptop??
As for my even older PC at home that runs something ancient as it has redhat 7.1 installed!

Should be okay really... providing the updates doesn't screw up many things.
I never really liked upgrading from cd on Linux to be honest. Just feels very clunky sometimes!
As always, backup everything before proceeding ;)

I have tended to reinstall from scratch but that is simply a result of a bad experience with an upgrade years ago!

I'll just do it across the web from mirror.ac.uk as long as the UEA notwork holds up ;-)

One machine currently at the office is running 2.2.18 patched with Supermount and RTLinux-3.0.
At home, currently have: 2.4.18 patched with rthal5. 2.4.20 with rtahl5. 2.4.21 with xfs, NTFS, Bootsplash and rthal5. 2.4.22 with NTFS, Bootsplash, Supermount, and adeos.
Somewhere, I also have a box with a 2.0.36 (I think) - But this hasn't been booted up in a long while...
Regards, Paul.
