Why? IIRC you previously mentioned you *needed* 3.3 or higher. Can you tell use what feature it is you need that was introduced in 3.3? > not asking which of the above options is stable and secure (I know it > is neither), Correct. It's a kernel, not an entire distro. Debian changes very little, if any, kernel code, for its distributed kernels. As with any distro, Debian sets various configuration options and excludes certain kernel features from its kernels, such as all the non-free bits of the vanilla source. Debian makes no changes to the vanilla kernel that make it more or less stable or secure. Note that the Debian kernel team is one of the largest contributors to upstream source. Thus when Debian pulls vanilla source into experimental, they're receiving all of their own recent kernel patches to the stable branch. > but which will most likely "yield better results"; in other words, which > would > generally be more stable and more secure. The answer is again neither for the reasons I stated above. These are kernels, not applications. Again, I'm curious as to what 3.3+ kernel feature it is you require. -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
