But that was all before I went on #centos with a simple question, viz where I might find a more recent udev than the one in Centos 4.3 so that I could run a more recent kernel. I wasn't expecting more than about "well, it isn't supported, but you could try <url>" or, if really lucky, someone who had already done this telling me what they'd done. But no, instead I get the third degree about how you were only supposed to use the Centos blessed software with their beloved distribution, and that I couldn't possibly have any genuine need to use a more recent kernel (particularly that there wasn't any unsupported hardware in 2.6.9 that anyone might possibly want to use, and besides which Centos is a server distribution (why does it have two complete desktop environments then???)), and accused of being a Gentoo Ricer and a Troll.
