Why and when to UPGRADE the kernel?
Basically, when you need to.
I lived with 2.6.16 until two weeks ago, and before 2.6.16 I lived with
2.6.12 much longer.
If you don't feel the need of a new kernel, I don't see any reason to
upgrade.

Hi list,
I have a project : transfer my old 33rpm records to CD.
What I want : a clean and faithful copy, eventually removing a few scratches and
bumps and, partly, background noise.
I am quite well equiped on the hi-fi side but I have no experience regarding
the computer side. Two questions:
-
- what sound card would you advise ?
I use a prosumer USB soundcard connected to my notebook.
- which open software(s) should I use to obtain a burnable file.
I'd use the JACK soundserver and timemachine to do the actual recording.
Even qarecord does a straightforward job. Both are simple
I have not used it, but this looks promising:

Hi,
I'm looking for a good sticky notes solution.
I use xfce4 as a desktop, but I run both gnome and kde apps when needed.
With a preference for KDE apps.
The xfce notes applet is buggy, crashy and very limited.
Tomboy is a nice application. Except it doesn't do what I'm looking for

Did you try xpad? It's gtk+-based, so there should be no problems with
