Okay - guys - thanks - i think you convinced me to go with backports :) I have added it to my /etc/apt/source-list and ran apt-get update
What do i do next - i have been googling it ...no luck on how to install the latest 2.6.X kernel or the latest 3..3.X one. Can they both live on the same box ??? I can juist different grub menu options - is this possible? I am sort of new to this..any kind of simple help is appriciated. thanks again.
