You may have the same reason for not wanting to use either, but that does |
| 14 |
not make them the same. |

I detest both cabbage and spinach, I refuse to eat either, but I wouldn't |
| 17 |
try to claim they were the same vegetable. |

Once you have installed a kernel, you never update it. You may compile |
| 33 |
another one with different settings, or install a different version, but |
| 34 |
the kernel you installed is not updated. Your kernel is about the only |
| 35 |
thing not affected by, or at risk of being broken by, updates, because |
| 36 |
nothing is ever overwritten, unlike just about every other update. |
