Kernel developmentKernel developmentPosted Oct 29, 2004 23:29 UTC (Fri) by giraffedata (subscriber, #1954)In reply to: Kernel development by dlang Parent article: Kernel development you can use a distro kernel in an attempt to reduce the risk (on the theory that they get more testing) That's not the theory on which I would do it. I would expect it to reduce the risk because the distributor stabilizes the kernel. I.e. it maintains a series for a long time (during which time it is continually tested by users) without making any but low-risk high-reward changes (e.g. bug fixes). If you want to have confidence in a kernel, you need one that has been used for a long time by lots of people and hasn't changed significantly in the meantime.
