   Ahhh, OK.  Didn't realize it was a race.

   I used to worry about always having the latest kernel, but I    
   certainly don't anymore.  Running Slackware64 14.2, fully updated    
   except for the kernel.  Constantly updating that breaks too many    
   things that I don't want to bother fixing.
