Comments on: So how *does* one de-upgrade a computer? http://blog.xcski.com/2004/11/15/so-how-does-one-de-upgrade-a-computer Everything I used to bore people on newsgroups and mailing lists with, now in one inconvenient place.

Would it be worth rolling your own? Without wanting to start a distro war, I'm a long time Debian user - from experience, it's usually very conservative when it comes to hitting the hardware. You will get "stable" hardware support as opposed to "optimised", with a reasonably selection of kernel images. Having said that - AHS, ASS. You're screwed either way. And I doubt that the thought of attempting the Red Hat -> Debian mindshift before the weekend is very appealing anyway... Is there an RPM for a “vanilla” 2.4 kernel under Fedora?
