Hi,
Usually I'm not one to complain about "old" version of the CentOS kernel and/or software, since I appreciate CentOS' stability. So this might be the exception that confirms the rule. I've been jumping through several burning loops these past days to configure my little MSI Wind netbook, and I'm currently considering going for a more recent kernel. There's no way the Ralink driver for the wireless card will build on an older kernel than 2.6.22, apparently.

I'm prepared to do some tinkering, but in the meanwhile, can you give some basic recommendations or caveats? This is not our production database server, so it's not a big deal if it's a little bit less stable.

PS: with similar requests, folks usually suggest I run Fedora. So let me state: I like CentOS. I don't want to run Fedora.
There is a CentOS kernel 2.6.24 for testing purposes built by Johnny Hughes. Take a look at this forum thread for details:
