I'm thinking about upgrading from TC 2.3 to the latest release and was downloading from

Smaller and quicker version of bzImage, but may not play so well with certain hardware.

Hmm. I've recently had some annoying extension/program crashes (notably oo2, which never gave problems until the last few weeks). I figured it's b/c libraries are changing.

What sort of hardware issues are we talking about? Kernel panic on boot, I assume? I'll have to switch back and see ...

On some machines ACPI doesn't work with it, so it may prevent software shutdown, among other things.
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

Okey dokey.

It seems my OO2 issues were due to using Xorg, not bzimage-upxed. I've dropped the former.
