The trailing edge is less exciting but more stable. And most of my linux work is not on x86 or desktops so I'm a bit out of touch with the most recent stuff. Come to think of it, I recall in the past having to go through a pain compiling a special kernel just to do CD burning with SCSI emulation, but with the slackware 11 it just worked, even with 2.4 kernel. I'm sure 2.6 is better but I'll wait till you folks are on 2.8 and I'll use the stablest 2.6. :) Greg > Actually, if you have an ide burner, and are running a 2.6.x kernel, > then you don't need ide-scsi emulation for cd burning either.
