Greetings I have subscribed to this list server to find out more about non-Red Hat derivatives. Is the Debian distribution of the type that I can, when I want to update the kernel, download a complete kernel tar ball or a patch file from what ever web site I choose, install it, and have things function properly?
The last coupe of times I did this to my current distro things went a muck. Fortunate for me I saved my current kernel and was able to boot from it. I didn't have too much problems with previous distro when I built custom kernels with it. I was able to get a kernel update from anywhere and go to town with it. I am basically "shopping" for a new distro. Thanks Walt Williams
