Kernel

Well today I decided to do something useful with my time. And no I didn't go outside in the sunlight.
I decided it was time to upgrade my Kernel, so I downloaded the newest 2.6.25 kernel source and compiled it and installed it. Wow that was really really easy. Took me all of an hour maybe, including the 50 minutes to compile it on my 2400+. So now I no longer have 2.6.20-16 any longer, well i do but I'm not using it. If you think that compiling a new kernel is hard, think again, it's easy.
Now I just have to learn more about compiling it and all the options I can use to make it faster, then I'll compile a new version and try it with all my improvements to see if it actually makes a difference.

New post in a few hours after I try again.
