Will do. Btw. what CPU is this build optimized for? I have two Athlon XP-based 
PCs, one K6-III and one P-MMX I could test this build on.

I think it's a good point in time to mark 2.0.x development as stalled, trunk 
as the development tree and releases as stable (in the ROCK Linux Manual).

I'm currently undecided on version numbering, and I'd be pretty happy with 
both a major.minor and a revision based scheme. But I think we should keep in 
mind that major.minor schemes are often used to convey additional information 
(such as binary compatibility), so if a numbering scheme doesn't have a 
special meaning, it could be discarded altogether to avoid confusion, imo.
