Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Fw: Dropping i386 non-PAE as a supported kernel flavour in Precise Pangolin
Am 10.01.2012 01:25, schrieb Josh Embrey: Maybe it's just me, but the most elegant solution is as follows: Make one final non-PAE version and then just let it float until the end of the lifetime. Support it, but don't upgrade the kernel or any packages that rely on the kernel. Then, whenever anyone needs to download a version that works on non-PAE versions, they just download Lubuntu-Non-PAE-final.iso (or whaterver). Hi Josh, i dont think its a good idea to provide a package which does not get (security) updates. specially if it is the linux-kernel. Greetings Michael Supported doesn't always mean that every aspect is in development and useful. Only the key aspects that define the OS. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop Post to : lubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop Post to : lubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Fw: Dropping i386 non-PAE as a supported kernel flavour in Precise Pangolin
It was just an idea, given the fact that the lubuntu dev team has no real dedicated kernel dev that can tackle the project. Speaking from experience, as an avid linux user, I'll generally get the latest project that'll work for whatever I need to get done or I'll find another project. As I'm not always happy to switch distros, I'll actually go back and use one that functions and just control the upgrades manually. Regarding security, it seems that the change will only effect a small number of older laptops (I've tested the new kernel builds on two that are about 5-10 years in age and found both still worked), it reduces the likelihood of those kernels being exploited except by random chance. Again, from my experience, linux kernels that get compromised are often directly targeted and not broad-spectrum attacks. Just my two cents, though. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop Post to : lubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
