Could be, though another RHCE I know over at Pogo Linux doesn't seem to 
think along the same lines. He likes to stick to as stock as possible 
in general, though (for support reasons)... ;p

It does have a number of ACPI fixes, yes. That kernel is very similar 
to the one in Fedora Core, which finally includes acpid as well, so 
lots of ACPI improvements.

I can't recall what my ACPI settings are, but I've got all USB stuff 
turned on, and no problems on the 2.4.20 kernels... No hard crashes to 
speak of...

Well, those aren't enabled, because not everyone using the rpms is also 
using alsa and an XvMC-capable video card. Or were you referring to 
0.12 source? I now assume so, since Axel doesn't have 0.12 rpms out 
yet. :)
