Keeping the same kernel running for long periods can leave you exposed to security vulnerabilities. Either stable or LTS kernels will be similarly exposed, if their latest backported versions are not booted with. I appreciate you're not running a public server so your profile is not as much at risk, but bad code in some application which hasn't been patched up could still leave you exposed. > I have even built a kernel but never actually booted it.

That doesn't happen to > often but I recall running into that at least once. Shutting down your desktop applications and rebooting with a new kernel takes no longer than a couple of minutes. I mean even busy bank customer web portals have planned downtime. > Either way, biggest question was if there was some known breakage > between my old version and a newer version.

Besides any booting errors, this could point you to something which was missed in the new kernel, or perhaps shouldn't have been configured. That's how I go about finding the cause of a non-booting kernel in the rare occasions I end up with a lemon. --nextPart22860309.6Emhk5qWAg Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
