If I stumble across a BUG() or OOPS, I can go straight to lkml and |
| 17 |
report it, without somebody saying 'try to reproduce it with a plain |
| 18 |
linux kernel'. Also, the less patches the smaller the chance that |
| 19 |
somebody introduced some arcane incompatibility. Important if you are |
| 20 |
inclined to use third party drivers or out of tree file systems. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Also, gentoo-sources never gave me anything I did miss with vanilla |
| 23 |
sources. So why using them? |
