You mean from "experimental", right? > Which is more likely to yield better results, as far as stability, > security, etc.? Using Debian kernel sources are usually the best/easier way and not for nothing special but it will save you a bunch of time (and some headaches) for generating a proper ".config" file. But hey, you can try both methods and then choose by yourself :-) > If I were to go with a vanilla kernel, would it be best to just go with > 3.3, or would it make sense to take 3.5? "3.5.3" is now the stable branch, I would go for that unless something impedes you from doing so.
