Hello,<br>
<br>
<br>
I'm running Fedora 12 on my main computer, with no intentions to upgrade the entire system (as I have a lot of non-distribution software which will be headache to reinstall). My choice of distribution in indeed questionable, but not the issue.<br>
<br>
<br>
I'd like to upgrade my kernel to anything > 2.6.36. But as many of you know, Linux kernels are a bit like wine: You know if you got a good one only after opening the bottle and waiting a little.<br>
<br>
<br>
So can anyone point at a kernel version (possibly flavor) which is known to be a successful one? I'm not looking for answers such as "I'm running kernel X.XX.XX with no problems". You may have problems you're not aware of. For example, I want to leave 2.6.35 because of that pretty famous system freeze under intensive disk load.<br>
<br>
<br>
What I would like to hear, is if someone can point at a certain kernel version, which is well-known to be a success. One that is, in retrospective, free from any serious bugs (such as the one mentioned above).<br>
<br>
<br>
Any recommendations?<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
