With 12GB of RAM in my desktop, occasionally hibernating Linux in order to reboot into Windows would take, literally, minutes. With 2.6.37, however, there is finally compressed hibernation image support in mainline, significantly improving shutdown and boot-up time.

Joy of joys.

Now, if I actually had time to actually play games…

• The air box is huge.  Taking it out “just because you can” is not worth it, especially when you don’t really have a place to store it.
• Water lines are pressurized. That little bit of coolant you expect to spurt out as you disconnect tubing will actually be a couple shots’ worth of the green stuff all over your transmission.
• The OEM air filter is crap, especially after goodness-knows how many years of use.  A fine layer of dust is not what one wants to see on the inside of the intake pipe.

So, that’s one more off the list.

Unfortunately, I’ve confirmed that the front motor mounts have gone bad, so said list is not actually any shorter.
