| highno | <reply> A higher version number does not mean that it's better. Especially with packages such as the linux kernel. The packages in the Ubuntu repositories are stable and will work fine. You should have a better reason than "newer" when considering compiling from source or using 3rd party repos. | PriceChild Added on: 2007-07-27 20:06:24 Last edited by PriceChild Last modified: 2007-07-27 20:06:36 Requested 89 times |

| night | <reply> It's the middle of the night in the US and Europe, and surrounds. This means that a lot of people are likely asleep, therefore there are less potential people who can answer your question. Please be patient, and consider asking at a time when more people will be awake. This is particularly true in the quieter channels. | Hobbsee Added on: 2007-05-27 13:30:59 Last edited by Hobbsee Last modified: 2007-05-27 13:35:36 Requested 105 times |
