Most Live CD users wouldn't give a toss which kernel version they are running - so long as it is reliable and fast. I haven't noticed any slowness in Mepis 2004.04. When I say "state of the art" I was referring to the attributes which distinguish these live CDs - e.g. automatic and comprehensive hardware detection, look and feel, functionality out of the box, hardrive installer, and update facilities.
