Kernel 2.5.22

Posted by michael on from the sharp-edge-of-the-sword dept.

DaveAtFraud writes "The latest experimental Linux kernel (2.5.22) is out. The somewhat massive changelog has the details. The patch file is here and the full source is here. If possible use a mirror. I never got 2.5.21 to get beyond single user mode on my dualie so hopefully 2.5.22 will fix that."

    I downloaded the Debian 2.2 stable ISO a couple days ago and am looking forward to my second foray into Linux. The first was a short-lived adventure with SuSE which was not unpleasant, but KDE's state at the time left much to be desired.

    I do not run servers as I have neither the need nor the extra money for them, so any Linux device I set up will strictly be a desktop machine. I'll keep everyone up to date with periodic postings here on /.

    I'm sure you all can't wait. ;-)

      You might be disappointed if you downloaded Debian 2.2 ISO's.
      Although extremely stable, they are also full of ancient software.
      If you want to have an up to date Debian desktop, I would suggest you download a Debian 3.0 netinstall image.
      Also, take the time to get an idea of how apt-get and apt-cache work, as they are the best way to install and manage packages.

      Debian 3.0 Installation Manual
      Debian 3.0 Release Notes
      Debian Reference
      APT Howto
      Just in case I forget something

      Not learning apt-get, or sticking to Debian 2.2, will leave you very disappointed.

      BTW, the current version of Suse is fairly good. I haven't used Gentoo yet, but have heard many good things about it recently. Redhat can be good, especially if you spend a small amount of time making it look and run nice. (My current very temporary RedHat 7.3 desktop.
