I have random keyboard freezes on boot-up with the 2.6.8-3-k7 kernel Well, 2.6.8 is very old, and you're better off with etch, which uses (I believe) 2.6.17 (actually, I use 2.6.17, but haven't done a kernel upgrade in a while). > > 2. The SPICE package I'm frequently using doesn't work under 2.6. Not sure about that - certainly you might have better luck with 2.6.

It should, and should remain an option that you can select from the grub/boot menu. And as I understand the situation, kernels aren't automatically upgraded anyway when you do a dist- or other upgrade, at least not unless you tell aptitude to upgrade the kernel specifically. > card to work under 2.4, which means no Google Earth (which in turn means > I actually have to work instead of goofing off).
