Dear Gurus, I saw today that Linux kernel 2.0.32 had been released as a Debian package. Is it safe to upgrade the existing Debian.1.3.r4 to this kernel? What about all the libc6 stuff? Should I have it installed or should I better wait until the the next major Debian release arrives? If so, when will this happen?
Now, a question about X. I have STB Velocity 128 card that is fairly well supported by the Suse XNvidia server. Unfortunately, I couldn't find it among the Debian packages and mended my system manually. Are there any plans of packaging this and other Suse servers? Finally, a question about Vtk (Visualization ToolKit). This powerful 3D graphics library is not freeware (see www.kitware.com), but the authors allow for distribution of the unchanged sources and binaries. I'd guess that distributing patches would be OK with them. The Vtk comes with Tcl/Tk, Python, and C++ bindings and is able of producing really cool 3D images under OpenGL (also, Mesa) and a number of other rendering libraries. Since I'm messing with this code anyway, I would consider becoming a Debian developer with the task of supporting this package. I'd guess it could go into contrib or nonfree hierarchy. What do you think about it? Best regards.
