4) Kernels sound better after they've been worn in a bit. Don't expect your
newly built 2.4 kernel to have that warm sound until you've run with it
for a few weeks, but for a really classy sound here's a trick: compile the
kernel and then put it somewhere safe (ext2 partition, obviously) to mellow
for a month and then boot into it at the last minute before you start
recording an important session. Your clients will thank you.
This is a joke, right?
