 Well, it has most things people expect I think. The more recent 2.2.x series
have features backported from 2.4 as well - USB, Microcode updating, stuff 
like
that. I don't know a lot to be honest..
 I just fancied something different - and apparently quicker - I run an SMP
machine - things have been improved on that front.

 Shame on you! Using Win..w..wi. Nope, can't even bring myself to say it! :-)

>most other things are well sorted now (i just break it occasionally!)

 That's the main reason I've been running it - my boxen have been pretty 
stable
- time to start breaking things :-)
