Humm... Sorry... I wasn't refering to kernels from Debian (and, to be honest, I don't use them), so I really don't know (I only use stock kernels from Linus/Alan with a select set of patches applied by hand like André Hedrick's and Reiser FS). But thank you for your information. I guess that I'll have a closer look to the ones distributed by Debian. > From what I've read, 2.2.16 was kinda rushed, and 2.2.17 (once out > of Pre) will be considered the better way to go. Indeed. Alan Cox even talks about 2.2.17pre having better stability than 2.2.16.
