ROFL!

I've read thro' the Debian site a few times, and figured out the whole
stable/testing/oh-my-god-how-scarily-unstable relationships.

Alex, you'll also be glad to know that my kernel trees now reside in
/usr/local/src/linux-2.4.x[-preX] :-)

Does any one have any thoughts on maintaining programs/systems like
XEmacs, Mozilla and vanilla kernels that aren't aways available in
packages (.deb and .rpm rather than xemacs pkgs)?

What is the recommended course of action with kernel-header and
kernel-source RPMs on a system?

Baz.

P.S. Nice to see it liven up in here again :-)
