I intend to, long-term. Short-term, I am running a beta version and
the software developers get a little short with people running custom
kernels. I understand their point, they are trying to produce a new
beta every couple of weeks and the ship date has been announced. I'm
trying to gather data/experience, since I am doing a clean install
every couple of weeks and have the opportunity to redo the FS
decision.
Thanks,
