I'm just curious what kernel ebuild folks are using on |
| 2 |
Alpha. What are some of the reasons to use one over |
| 3 |
another? I've been using vanilla-sources (currently |
| 4 |
2.4.25) but I'm not doing anything serious or mission |
| 5 |
critical; just basically something to play with. Are |
| 6 |
there any advantages to using gentoo-sources or |
| 7 |
alpha-sources? |
| 8 |

I've also been contemplating trying out a 2.6 kernel. |
| 10 |
If I do that, would I be forced to upgrade anything |
| 11 |
else (like glibc for instance) and if so, would that |
| 12 |
preclude being able to switch back and forth? |
| 13 |

Sorry if these seem like "n00b" questions. I've never |
| 15 |
gotten a handle on what makes things binary |
| 16 |
incompatible in Linux (in general, not necessarily |
| 17 |
Alpha specifically). Are such things spelled out |
| 18 |
anywhere? |
