2.4, The Kernel of Pain 730
Joshua Drake has written an article for LinuxWorld.com called
The Kernel of Pain.
He seems to think 2.4 is fine for desktop systems but is only now, after a year of release, approaching stability for high-end use. Slashdot has had its own issues with 2.4, so I know where he's coming from. What have your experiences been? Is it still too soon for 2.4?

Well about two months ago
I found Garage Days Re-revisited
on tape in a used record shop
for about ten dollars
I came back two weeks later and
found Kill 'Em All with the two extra
songs-on tape for 3.50
I came back last week and found a rare
Soundgarden CD (Badmotorfinger w/the
Somm EP) for around 15.00
SO, hope is alive, those albums are still
floating around in some form

Reset button? WE DON'T NEED NO STEENKING RESET BU (Score:3, Funny)
IBM must be pretty confident, the reviewers figured, to leave the reset button out (Apple subsequently did the same on the Mac)(Did the Apple ][ have a reset button?). Bill Gates and DoS proved them (IBM) merely arrogant, and the 286-based PC/AT a couple of years later (5170? I know not the model number) had a reset button.
Now, twenty years later, I've removed the reset switch I eventually added to the 5160 cabinet for the sake of DoS. I'll need it no more.
