I run cooker all the time on two of my three machines.  The trick is to  
update a day or two late, and watch the mailing list to make sure there  
are no "You broke KDE!" or "supermount is using 100% cpu!"  
messages.  ;-)  More help is good though.  Cooker users report a LOT  
more bugs than beta testers.

Esh... the cooker list I could do without.  100+ emails a day (up to  
200+ during testing season), lots of bickering...

Yeah, you would have to recompile nvidia every time you update the  
kernel.  You don't have to update the kernel every time though.

I have a cooker mirror here in toronto.  I don't have enough bandwidth  
to make it public, but I'm working on a solution to that...
