The good, the bad, the donut

Debian sarge finally released, so I upgraded donut (now 10 years old!), our house router. The upgrade went reasonably smoothly, ignoring that donut is slow as all heck. I haven't thoroughly tested anything, but the only things it really does are forward packets and host
chooblog...and the latter being down for a bit won't kill anyone.
Debian stable now has a pretty current pyblosxom, which looks like the same idea as blosxom but in Python and with some actual recent maintenance. ISTR a module that would help with comment spam. So my next project is to upgrade to that.
I was also hoping to switch from a home-built kernel (mmm, kernel-package) to a stock Debian kernel, since the only particularly arcane thing I need is the ipip module. Good news: the stock Debian kernels contain approximately every module under the sun. Bad news: donut's / partition is only 50 MB, which fills up pretty quickly if you're installing a kernel that's 40 MB unpacked. Eit.
