Not to sound crass, but if trodding the razors edge is that important, then
why not do your own builds? Before I started fooling around with the Cooker,
I was runing Mandrake 7.1, with about 40% 7.2 components, and a slew of
custom build stuff, including kernels 2.4.0, 2.4.1, 2.4.3, each one within a
day or so of being published by Linus. Custom kernel builds really aren't
that big a deal, just don't over-write a bootable one with your new kernel!
