I don't target LTS, I just rarely reboot. My system runs 24/7. I watch |
| 21 |
TV from it plus do all the other things, check emails, look for info, |
| 22 |
buy things etc etc. Usually, I reboot when I lose power for more than a |
| 23 |
couple minutes. Where I live, if the power fails for more than 30 |
| 24 |
seconds or so, it's gonna be out longer than my UPS will last. My UPS |
| 25 |
mostly is to protect from those short blinks etc. Anyway. Recently, I |
| 26 |
been shutting down when I move hard drives physically. I put in a new |
| 27 |
drive, get it set up, transfer data and such. Once that is done, I |
| 28 |
shutdown and physically move the drive to its permanent location. |

Lately, I'm having to use 5 1/4" spots and a adapter. I'm out of 3.5" |
| 30 |
spots. |

Where does one go for a list of the LTS kernels? Since I reboot so |
| 33 |
rarely, what not use one of them?? Of course, the kernel I have in use |
| 34 |
now has long uptimes so it is sort of LTS for this rig anyway. ;-) |
