Talking about 1.3.x kernels... Could someone who is following the 1.3
kernels fairly closely post to the mailing-list a list of the usable
(i.e. least buggy) 1.3 kernels? Has the kernel version that will be
released with Debian 1.1 been decided?
I'm still at 1.2.13, probably like quite a few other on this list, because
I'd rather not be too close to the bleeding edge. But if I could get a
list of good 1.3.x kernels from someone who's following the kernel
development, I'd be more than happy to switch over (and gain all the nifty
features of the newer kernels).

PS My case: I'd need VFAT support. Am I better to switch to a 1.3.x kernel
or apply the doslfn01 patch from sunsite (which has been static for quite
some time) to my 1.2.13 kernel?
