I'm one of the ones who didn't like it. To be fair, that kernel is running
on a P 75 acting as my firewall/gateway right now. Works fine. However, when I
tried it on my PIII 450, sound and networking refused to work, causing void
pointer errors followed by kernel panics. So, I'd suggest that if you are
using a recent processor, that you might want to stick to a "stock" kernel.
