Yep. Works fine, although sound required some futzing since they switched
to ALSA. The system seems a bit more snappy, but it's nothing amazing.

The configuration process is much longer than it used to be. You have to
explicitly compile in support for a keyboard and for displaying a console
on the screen, otherwise everything works just fine but you don't see
anything. Be careful in the "Input device support" and "Character devices"
sections.

it resides on)...if anyone knows any links, post 'em.
