I was just wondering what the policy is on releasing patched kernels for SuSE? Will all the effort be put into SuSE 10.1, or can we expect to see 2.6.14 for SuSE 10?

I don't think SUSE ever has they underlying kernel updated. They backport any security patches that come out. They occasionally backport major functional fixes. If you want to get the latest and greatest kernel you can try the KOTD series, but they are only lightly tested. There on the ftp server, but I've forgotten exactly where they are. I assume there is still a KOTD series now that opensuse exists? Greg -- Greg Freemyer The Norcross Group Forensics for the 21st Century

We did a kernel upgrade for SLES 8 (2.4.19 -> 2.4.21), but this was an experience we would not like to repeat.
