Yes, I’m a alpha geek and and early adopter.
Hardy Heron is working great, but the Firefox 3.0 packaging is still undergoing some revision.
I use three applications extensively, Firefox, Thunderbird, and Konsole.
I can’t deal with the extra large fonts that display by default in Firefox 3.0 in Hardy Heron.
So I used this set of instructions to temporarily downgrade the firefox package.

I run Linux on my laptop most of the time.
I like to run the latest version, but I don’t want to compile it myself and try to package it up in a deb every time a new kernel comes out.
I just found KernelCheck.
KernelCheck is a project that is designed to easily build the latest kernel for your distribution
The latest BETA even automatically builds in support for the latest NVIDIA proprietary driver.
So far its simple and seems to be working flawlessly.
I’ll let you know how it goes.
Ok I had a server with a SATA controller with a messed up boot sector.
No sweat I have Knoppix 3.4 right.
Nope the 3.4 2.6 kernel doesn’t have SATA compiled into the kernel. Go to Jail. Do NOT pass Go. Go directly to Jail.
Enters SUSE 9.1 Live CD ( With compiled in SATA support )
I boot up and install GRUB.
Reboot and up comes the server. Life is bliss.
