This is the big problem for linux users.  We want the experimental kernal 
because such-and-such a product won't run w/o it -- but chances are, 
something is broken in the experimental kernal.

Personally, I find it to be lots of fun to watch things break and fix 
them after hours of hair-pulling anxiety and confusion.  Then again, that 
could just be me :)
