I've been happily using 2.6.24 kernel without meeting much problems. Recently just out of curiosity I did a upgrade (not dist-upgrade yet). Is there outstanding improvements in 2.6.26 that make it strongly recommended to dist-upgrade? Because I have many packages and drivers to be re-compiled if I do a dist-upgrade. The source in my source list is: deb http://debian.yorku.ca/debian/ testing main contrib non-free deb-src http://debian.yorku.ca/debian/ testing main contrib non-free I think the problem is caused by 'testing' dist previously referred to 'Lenny', but now referred to unstable? If I want to update my system for lenny, do I need to change the 'testing' to 'stable'?
