If you know what you are doing and are capable of properly testing a kernel
then use 2.4.0-test10 with Devfs. It'll make things easier for you in the
long-term.
If you aren't able to perform burn-in tests or if you don't have enough
experience to be able to install a new kernel without detailed installation
instructions then use a 2.2.x kernel.
