I'm using this aproach, but would argue it is the best way. Think about this posible situation: for example a security hole was found in <= 2.4.27 which is fixed in 2.4.28 or in 2.4.28-preX. Do we have Debian's 2.4.28? No. Is fix backported to 2.4.18? I think yes, acording to changelog.Debian. Is fix backported to 2.4.27? I don't really know. It is quite ok for me to use latest available kernel on my desktop machine, but I would stay away from kernel that is several days old on the server. -- Alexei Chetroi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
