Technology Stocks : LINUX -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

Has anyone upgraded to the 2.2.10 Kernel? If so what is involved and what had to be changed? What broke? From Linus' list of changes it looks like a major upgrade. I run Slackware and I am scared man. Counting the radial fear wrinkles on the sphincter, I am up to 2.1364 X 10^3897 by now, and rising. Also in passing I wonder what the deal is with scanning. I see on the SANE website that many many drivers are Alpha and this is with SCSI. I see that there is some parallel port support for PP devices for Linux and that actually the scanners themselves are actually most often SCSI inside even if they use the PP. It is suggested that one can use the scanner with a SCSI driver and use the parallel port support to access them. Sound crazy? Has any one any experience with this? mailto:echarter@grubstake.on.ca
