@trisha02,

That's your decision. The question you need to ask your self is: what do I need that is not on the stock kernel?

If it's only overclocking, then I'd just go with the latest *stable* kernel-power, and that's AFAIK version 47.

I see nothing (at the moment) in KP48 that would give me a reason to install it. The 720p and compcache are just a beginning, and the kernel doesn't make it work out-of-the-box.

Plus the other patches don't mean anything to me, and I have a certain "distrust" for patches coming from people over here (not meaning to offend, it's just like that), unless I have the chance to review these patches, which I guess I'll never have.

Take the example of the people reporting leafpad crashing. It makes no sense that a kernel would introduce this problem, and although leafpad might well be buggy, this should never be a reason for a computer to crash or reboot.

My long-term-plan would be to either compile my own kernel some day, or hope that some day we can use the upstream kernel (with as few patches as necessary), but that's just not going to happen any time soon.
