[NTLUG:Discuss] Easy Path to V2.5 kernel?

[severian@pobox.com]

Howdy,
   2.5 is a development kernel and you should wait, but only if you can't 
afford for the machine to go down for a bit.  The development kernels are 
not recommended for production.  They are encouraged to be used for testing 
even from early development releases, because that is how bugs are squashed 
and 2.5 can turn into 2.6.  2.5 is pretty near feature complete, as I 
understand it, and testers are needed.  I am sure Jack knows that, but not 
everyone reading your response may.
Have a good day,
Ralph
