My first foray into Kernel 2.6

I put together my hobby machine and decided to load up the new Mandrake 10 Community. The first problem was that it would not update my exsisting 9.1 system. I didn't have a lot invested in it, so, I decided to just not format my /home directory. The install went well, but I had to load many things later that should have been included by default. Things like LinNeighborhood, KDEMultimedia, XMMS. Kernel 2.6 makes the Pentium 200 snappy, but I have run into some weird bugs. XMMS flat out crashes. I thought it was a library problem, but, Noatun works fine, but skips a lot. Sounds like a kernel problem. KDE seems to run very fast in some areas, and slow in others. I'll try an update to see if any packages will fix those problems. I also think that the Mandrake folks went a little too far in their menu organization. It is much more difficult to find things. I miss the 9.1 organization. More observations to come.....

Also, come to Geeksters.org and there will be discussion about this too.
