[GRLUG] Meeting agenda?

[Ben Rousch]

   You forgot the most pertinent question: Why should you compile a  
custom kernel?

   Through five years and countless (OK, I could count them, but I'm  
feeling too lazy right now) distros I have never compiled a kernel.  
When is it necessary these days?

   Quoting Bill Littlejohn <billl at mtd-inc.com>:
