Sorry to be a pain - but I see this often and would like to get a correct
description - what exactly is a 'vanilla kernel'? I always thought it meant
a standard kernel as distributed on the original vendor CD's for an OS.
Now it appears that a vanilla kernel is one the user has compiled custom on
their Linux box.
What exactly is a vanilla kernel?
Please help me be more accurate ;-)
Thanks in advance..
