Hi Ken,

Not really - I assume you're running an older kernel, so as long as
the kernel is doing what you want and you're keeping up to date with
security fixes it should be okay.

Changing to lenny will require a new install.

Hopefully at some point either the upstream kernel pvops work is
good enough to support Jaunty or whatever, or Bitfolk switches to
KVM.

This is really just a warning for people who feel they can cope with
upgrading but not with running kernels that aren't packaged for
their distribution.

Cheers,
Andy
