Re: Hoy to update to the latest Kernel?

This is for #! 9.04 right?

If you want the latest kernel, you have to compile it or find DEB files for it:

If you're using 9.04, just leave it as it is. Whatever you do, do NOT do system-upgrade.

There is no need to have the latest kernel. While it is true that Ubuntu/Debian sticks with "old" kernels, they constantly provide bug fixes and patches to this kernel, so there is nothing to worry about. smile

Re: Hoy to update to the latest Kernel?

Do you need some new piece of hardware that only has kernel support in a later version or something? If not there really isn't a need as others have suggested. If you want newer software, and newer kernels perhaps upgrading to statler over 9.04, or if not Lucid or something else newer as 9.04 runs out of support next month.

Installing the latest crunchbang (its alpha version but works ok) solved everything
