which distro?
Kubuntu 5.10. Does it make a difference? I thought kernels were independent of distros. What about the initrd.img files, what does one do about that when using a new kernel?
Yes. It makes a difference. Some vendors (eg. Redhat) apply too many patches so compiling and installing a decent vanilla kernel becomes very difficult.
