    Linux has released YET ANOTHER KERNAL! So fast that people have barely finished upgrading to the last one! That's the power of OPEN SOURCE! RELEASE EARLY! RELEASE OFTEN! What's that you say? Service packs, hot fixes, and rollups? BAH! BOO! BAD MICROSOFT! It should have worked THE FIRST TIME! RELEASE ONCE! Umm....yeah.

  5. But I just got 2.4.7 working right!!! by earlmred · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Heh, this is great. I just got my system actually finally working correctly, and then 2.4.8 comes out ... oh well, I'll just copy over the config file from 2.4.7, and hope it works ... I just downloaded, so I'll let you know how it goes ... for some reason, I tried apt-cache search kernel-source-2.4.8 first, then realized that that wouldn't be out yet, so I'll just use the standard source I guess .. I'll let ya'al know how it goes =)

    It's probably better to stick with your current kernel if there isn't anything in the changelog that affects you.
