Hello all! Sorry, I just need to rant for a moment. I recently built an X86_64 LFS build using the current stable. It recommends using linux kernel 3.8.1, so I picked the latest at the moment which was 3.8.11. It has only been a couple of weeks and now the 3.8 line has been EOL'd !!!!!argh!
I don't want to use the mainline kernel, but the rest are old enough that I want to utilize the "coolness" of the latest stuff and use a newer kernel. Should I build a new LFS and use the 3.9.2 kernel or is that too going to be EOL'd in a week? How are we supposed to know what is going to be a long term kernel? Or are the "long term kernels" really the only long term kernels and anything other than mainline should automatically be considered EOL kernels? -- Regards, Nathan England ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NME Computer Services http://www.nmecs.com Nathan England ([email protected]) Systems Administration / Web Application Development Information Security Consulting (480) 559.9681 /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
