Comment 199 for bug 272247

I suppose long term effects are not getting the latest fixes. From my reading it looks like every kernel update is sent out with the best of intentions to fixing many more bugs between hardware-software integration than it creates. Not to mention possible performance increases as well as additional feature support.

Thanks for the mini-tutorial. I'll do it ASAP but finals are coming up and I need my XP until I have time to migrate my emails and such.
