What I wanted to say, is, that the kernel is so special, that every admin should know, how to build it, and apply patches. Just like very windoze user knows how to reboot ...
Building kernels is more complex than it seems to be, there are a lot of patches for some device drivers, patches with interfere each other, like kerneli and freeswan and others.
Agreed. For those of us who don't use SuSE default kernels, it would be very convenient though if SuSE would provide the sources for the newer kernels, with all (suse-specific etc) modules included. I think a large part of this list is more than competent enough to build their kernel from those, and it would save people the hassle of grabbing up sources and modules from somewhere else.
