[Sheflug] Kernel upgrade

[Steve Tickle <xxxxx [at] xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm currently running two boxes with SuSE 7.0, one of which I'm in the 
process of upgrading to SuSE 7.3. Both boxes are running kernel 2.2.16

As I've never really done any serious kernel upgrades and compilation 
before, I'm not convinced that compiling all the correct options in 
wouldn't be something of an iterative process. I'm not looking to do 
anything earth shattering on either box, just run MySQL, PHP4 and a few 
other bits and bobs so I'd like to know if the pain of upgrading to 2.4.x 
would be worth it.

There is one thing I might like to try out which I believe I would need 
2.4.x for and that is to get some Bluetooth equipment going, although I 
might not in the end attempt this.


Any thoughts?

Steve
