debian vs. kernel.org kernels: what to choose?
Hi,
there's a bug (#315968) in the 2.6.8 kernel provided with Debian
stable, which prevents me using usb sticks. I therefore moved to
kernel 2.6.11.5 which I got directly from kernel.org without any
Debian patches. An alternative would have been to use the kernel
source from Debian unstable.
What is recommended in a case lake that? Using unpatched kernel.org
sources or taking the patched sources from unstable or testing? What
are the advantages and disadvantages? Are there other alternatives?
Thanks a lot in advance!
