Hi all... let me ask another (probably) stupid question I've thought about for a long time. I always try to use precompiled software as much as possible, software coming from the official debian sources, as this gives me the possibility to upgrade them all with a simple apt-get update && apt-get -y dist-upgrade ; however, as for the kernel, I always download sources from an official kernel.org mirror and compile them myself with the traditional method. So my question is: what is the approach people take for this point? Do you, sysadmins with lots of machines, apt-get install kernel-source, or do you rather get an official kernel? What pros and cons has each of these points? Am I missing something important? TIA for your answers and advice Pope -- Luis Gomez Miralles InfoEmergencias - Technical Department Phone (+34) 654 24 01 34 Fax (+34) 963 49 31 80 [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP Public Key available at http://www.infoemergencias.com/lgomez.asc
