And btw, slh updates its kernel on a regular basis. [snip]
Ah, so it is indeed just a different numbering scheme! That's a big relief.
With all due respect, aptosid died in January 2013 (over ten years ago ...). It's amazing that Stefan Lippers-Hollmann still delivered customized kernels.
When, if not now, do you want to switch to a distribution that provides you with Sid and a rolling release and is actively maintained? In my eyes, you are dragging a corpse behind you.
Thanks for your comments and I do appreciate your advice. Although I respectfully (to some extent) disagree. The point of a rolling distribution is not to have to reinstall a system that is running well. Right now I see my system as running Sid (and not really aptosid) with the slh kernel. And it is running great.
This particular system has a lot of software (not from the repos) and configurations I use for music production, and reinstalling would be very time consuming. If I had problems with it, then sure, but I don't right now. My main concern is if slh stops releasing kernels. I then need a replacement kernel or indeed move on.
Who should you contact if you have problems with towo's kernel?
I assume you meant
slh's kernel. And that is indeed a very good question and relevant point. But slh's kernels have been really reliable so far. If I start to have problems with it and cannot find a replacement, I will indeed install siduction and carry on.
But, of course, I might be wrong about all of it. (It does happen more often then I care to admit...)
