Re: [LINUX_Newbies] Re: USB Ethernet Adapter (OT) build your own kernel

One thing to remember is to use stable kernel. The release number is
simple. A kernel 2.6 is stable, a kernel 2.7 is unstable or developement .
Unless you fell adventurous ;-) . Any release that end with a odd numer is
unstable.

And you can make any number of kernel you want, you will be able to fall
back to your working kernel as you wish if you work properly with your boot
loader.
