My experience with 2 of the software packages you mention(with
an potato upgraded Stormix).
-kernel 2.4.0-test1
fast,my CDRW won't work and lost a FAT16 partition when writing to
it
from Linux first time-never happened before with 2.2.-series .I had a
backup so no big deal.Stil it's not something to be released with a
commercial distro.I would agree here with Debian's point of view-at
least
2.4.2 if you need your data.Of course if you're willing to risk you can
use even now 2.4.0-test1 -I do.
-XFree4.0 :I ran it for a couple of weeks.Netscape crashed 3-4
times/day
out of nowhere(NOT Java related) ,dissapeard when I downgraded to
3.3.6-7.
Couldn't make it work with my card and monitor with any resolution other
than maximum supported by both.Tried all settings and read all the docs,
edited manually the XF86Config file from scratch...spent a lot of hours
cause on a 15" monitor it was a pain.No go.
-KDE2 is a moving target but now you can try it with the kdepackages
from http://kde.tdyc.com .It's still early beta so ...maybe Storm can
post on the ftp some tested packages,known to work with Storm and
potato,
ofcourse nobody would expect them to give a warranty on them-maybe under
a beta test directory.
