It's not that bad really. Well except when the kernel interface changes
and breaks things and you have to track down patches and such.

Randall did package 180.22, and I am using it at home with 2.6.27 (which
made my webcam work that 2.6.26 didn't work with). SO far no problems.
It is in experimental or maybe it was in Randall's build area. I
forget.

I always use the business card installer, and have it download whatever
packages I ask for over the net. Much more efficient than full DVD
images unless you don't have an internet connection at the machine.
