Hi all. First of all, kudos to Jerry Benzecon and his mates : LL3 is a damn good & useful OS. I discovered LL with the 2.4 release and never switched to another distro. As many LL users, I come from the MS world (former Windows IT system engineer), but was immediately seduced by LL for home use : the ergonomic, the ease of configuration, the sames apps I used to install on my Windows at home, the interoperability with MS systems/infra, lightweight, stable, fast... Well I love it. This had to be said :-)
I am newbie in gnu or unix systems in general, and i have a couple of questions that may seem stupid to you guys, but I cannot get a very firm answer on the web and I would like your opinion:
1- Except for recent hardware support and security matters (which are very good reasons) is it worthy to try to upgrade to the latest available kernel ?
2 - If I do this is what will be the impact on the specific Linux Lite layers of the system ? I am almost sure that I would have to deal with some bugs but will it also deprecate some functionalities / user experience implemented for LL when using this new kernel ? More globally is it a good idea ?
Thx!
