@towo, please hold linux-3.3 kernel for a while, perhaps as a meta package:
linux-image-old
The new Kernel linux-3.4 has:
- abi x32,
which nobody having enough RAM needs
- btrfs better performance
which nobody should use (because of heavy changes daily in the code)
- xen and other virtualization featueres
which the simple minded of the desktop users don't need
- dm features,
same as above for the simple desktop user
But actual coming linux-3.3.5
is most promising performant and stable (*) ...
(*) tested without any bfs patches, because of some bad time accounting of bfs-for-linux-3.3 observed - I dont trust that patch anymore.
