The Debian tools make it quite easy and manageable to build your
own kernel. Try that before switching :) .hc On Sep 13, 2010, at 4:21 PM, András Murányi wrote:Ahh, livna.... You know, know that i have convinced my Fedora friends to switch to

yes, planet_ccrma is a repo for the Fedora/CentOS/RedHat family I like it

Hmm, hmm. That means switching to Fedora, right?
