I'm a little confused as to how/when I should upgrade my kernel. I'm not subscribed to this list a present, so please include me in the cc.
I've seen several of the security annoucements concerning new/patched versions of several of the Linux kernels, but I'm seldom sure if it applies to me. apt-get update; apt-get upgrade normally do not find any packages. (I have the security server in the source list.) I'm using the 2.4.18.bf2.4 kernel. I saw that new headers for it were added to the security server recently, but don't know what else is needed. Does the machine need to be reboot'ed, after the apt-get upgrade? I saw that kernel images were provided for some of the other Linux kernels, but not for the bf2.4 variant. Does this mean that the bf2.4 variant is already safe/patched as is, or that the packager/maintainer hasn't gotten to it yet? I'm a little wary of moving off the bf2.4, it seems to be the only one that likes my network configuration. Several of the machines I need to administer are hard to get local access to, so if the network goes, I'm out of luck. Please advise. Thank you.
