I like it. Perhaps, once I get that box's internet connection to work (seems 
like I am going to have to get either adsl or a new isdn card, because the 
usb interface to the isdn base station seems unsupported. Until then, it's 
burning cds on the office computer) I'll start updating from cooker.

I installed the -27 kernel and that fixed some bugs, but one still bothers me 
a lot: when I play a cd, it routes the sound not to the sound card, but to 
the headphone jack of the cd player/dvd writer (a NEC), even when no 
headphones are plugged in. (IOW, in the latter case I hear nothing). Yet, if 
I want, I can rip a ogg of each song and play that on the sound card. Is 
there an easy way to fix that? I couldn't find anything obvious and tried to 
rtfm, but found nothing.
