There are official kernels that have been regarded as stable enough to be used by the 'masses'. There are also kernels that are 'developmental' which have new features etc that aren't regarded as perfectly stable...developmental meaning just that. Mostly these are used by hackers and programmers etc...or simply someone curious who doesn't mind playing with fire. There's plenty of information on the web about the different kernels and what features and problems are being tested and supported. One site you might want to look at is <A HREF="http://www.linuxhq.com...you"><A HREF="http://www.linuxhq.com...you</A">http://www.linuxhq.com...you</A</A>> can also browse the kernel archives, though much of the chat might be meaningless to you depending... Have fun. Michael
Hey, what's the deal on there being multiple Linux kernels? When I see people talk about the Linux kernel they usually only specify a version. I had the feeling that there was an official Linux kernel that was blessed of by some grand authority. Can it be explained how the Linux kernel is maintained?
