RE: Say, wheres 2.2.20?
sorry I didn't put it clear in my last post.
1) which distribution to use: stable or unstable?
you can use unstable, but when there is security hole with the packages, the
fix is not so easy to get (http://security.debian.org is for stable only)
2) for stable users, this risk exists if you upgrade the kernel: you may
need to upgrade the packages too,
quoted from
http://www.debian.org/releases/testing/i386/release-notes/ch-whats-new.en.ht
ml:
"A 2.4 kernel is also included in this release for optional installation by
users. Although the 2.4 branch is considered by the kernel developers to be
a stable kernel branch, the Debian GNU/Linux release team judged it not to
have reached sufficient maturity for inclusion as the default kernel in this
release. "

Version: 2.2.20-2
Provides: kernel-image
Depends: fileutils (>= 4.0)
What version of fileutils is in potato?
All that the package supplies is the kernel. It will be as stable as any
other kernel package wheather it is in stable or not (it's the official
2.2.20) so what's your prob? Maybe you should check before you assume that
just because it's in testing that it's not stable.
