X-Archives-Salt: d596903e-3e8c-47a7-b4c8-8286e5ed68fc X-Archives-Hash: ba0a37bcaaeb857e89bd04e3ebfeaeb2 I'm just curious what kernel ebuild folks are using on Alpha. What are some of the reasons to use one over another? I've been using vanilla-sources (currently 2.4.25) but I'm not doing anything serious or mission critical; just basically something to play with. Are there any advantages to using gentoo-sources or alpha-sources? I've also been contemplating trying out a 2.6 kernel. If I do that, would I be forced to upgrade anything else (like glibc for instance) and if so, would that preclude being able to switch back and forth? Sorry if these seem like "n00b" questions. I've never gotten a handle on what makes things binary incompatible in Linux (in general, not necessarily Alpha specifically). Are such things spelled out anywhere?
