Now that sounds like fun...to be honest...I have only recently went through
the process of attempting to recompile a kernel...I didn't actually try to
use it after I did it...just trying to get familiar with the process and
idea. It seems a little out of my league. Mostly a networking and hardware
geek. Anytime the word compile comes into play I get a little nervous...
I banking on the fact that since it is linux I won't need to reboot the
maching once its finally up and running
