I have had it running on some desktops and liked it a-plenty. But my efforts to install 4.2 were stymied by IBM BIOS conflicts with the partition numbering we use. I like what I am seeing: stuff like ancontrol(1) is great. I can see more information about my wireless connection than the Cisco tools gave me. One question: is there a resource for kernel configs/PC card gotchas, X configs, etc.? If so, I would be happy to contribute what I have working here.
