I would tend to say you'd need to modify your apps so that they'll run correctly with the new ALSA interface for sound support - although it supports OSS/lite emulation pretty much perfectly (as far as I know of)
Also, modules names have (I think) changed, so a change in the init scripts would probably be useful. It depends on your distro though - I'd say distros like Slackware and Debian will have guides or automated tools for migration. Commercial distributions will probably have to release a new version (RedHat 10 ? Gods).
Although maybe I'm wrong, I never managed to get a working 2.5.x kernel on my Debian box =)
That would be nice to know what the so-called bugs are - outside of "normal" bugs (after all, APT is still not officially approved for production use). But what about "without a properly working dpkg in the background there is not that much fun." DPKG has never broken on my box. Period.
Is that possible the bugs you're describing are not bugs in APT itself but rather dependency problems in the binary packages ? I've used APT for a year and those are the only problems I've ever had, and every distribution is prone to have them.
Actually, HURD is coming along at a pretty nice pace.
It's supposedly extremely slow (the developmers want to swap GNU MACH for another (and hopefully more efficient) microkernel) but it's not so bad.
Excepted it lacks many drivers for anything fancy - including most partition types (ReiserFS ? Sorry. UDF ? Nothing there.) and of course hardware - its drivers are mostly based off linux 2.0.x. Yikes.
You may want to check out the FSF's HURD website : http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/ or Debian GNU/HURD's homepage : http://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/
I mean, come on, in the demo, the Japanese had a Sturm Gewehr 44 (STG44), an extremely rare and expensive piece of hardware that was extremely powerful (many consider it the AK47's uncle) and avanced for its time.
Wait.
Most German soldiers never saw an STG of the war.
My historical geek's heart is hurt everytime I see that.
The memories... I started with Dragon Linux (since I didn't want to bother with repartionning, go figure) 6 months ago or so. That was my first distro.
Based on Slackware 7.
My first configuration nightmares !
My first dependency hells !
I'll always remember Slackware.
And should have gotten a newer distro (:

That's probably it - thanks for the tip !

Debian, Redhat, the kernel, XFree86 ...

What historical erros could they insert ?

Damn, Slashdot is catching up !
That sounds like SCO. "All your JFS are belong to me"
