Hi all, I am hoping someone can shed some light regarding kernel choice.
I got a new pc, celeron 2.6. but before I trash a working Etch taken from my 1.8 celeron I thought I would test the install on a spare 10gb drive. Using expert install you are presented with 4 choices of kernel but no hint as to the differences. I chose ... [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ uname -a Linux skutter 2.6.18-4-686 #1 SMP Wed May 9 23:03:12 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux ... purely because it was the newest and I made the same choice with my 1.8 celeron which has worked reliably for some time now :) Googling (badly and probably without the correct words) over the last 2 days has got me no wiser. Now the 2.6 machine "seems" to be working fine after some display tweaking but I am curious to know if this information, ie. the differences in the offered kernels and how to chose is mentioned anywhere on Debian or the web. I believe SMP stands for multi processor? (which mine isn't) but could I have made a better choice, have I made the wrong choice? Many thanks in advance. del -- D. M.
