Because I try to deviate as little as possible from a stock distribution. (It's been literally years since I had to build a custom kernel, and I intend to keep it that way -- there are too many "exciting" things to deal with already). Besides, it's interesting how Ubuntu compares to Debian on a noncritical server (I run stock Sarge elsewhere, with kernel-image-2.6.13-vs2.0.1-pre2-686_1_i386 on a couple of machines). They promise 18 months of support; we'll see how it goes. -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org";>leitl</a> ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://www.leitl.org 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE
