As for the mailing list, I personally feel that a mailing list can be a
community too, and not everybody has the time or ability to make meetings.
I'm glad to have people here who share a common interest, even if it is just
a mailing list.  Hopefully with some set organization, goals and dedicated
people, we can turn this around and start having active meetings, community
events and whatever else people want.  (Well, that's what I'd like to see.)

Yes.  The 2.4 kernel is great, though you probably wont notice much
difference from the 2.2 kernel unless it supports a new piece of hardware,
you need the Netfilter features with iptables, or you have 8 CPU's =).  Make
sure that you compile the kernel with kgcc (edit the Makefile).  Though 2.4
kernels sometimes work fine with the broken Redhat 7.0 gcc, you'll have less
problems with kgcc.  (2.2 kernels NEVER work with gcc).
