I would really like to know how you guys do your kernel development. What distro do you use and whats the process?
I’m very comfortable with debian, but i’ve heard it’s not the easiest distro to build kernels for as you need to build to a .deb and apply it that way.
Not at all, any community-based distro is usually good for kernel development, pick one you feel comfortable with and use it.
if you're going to just manually install the new kernel, then it makes precious little difference. on the other hand, if you really want to go through the packaging, then you can run one of: $ make rpm-pkg $ make deb-pkg other than that, as greg suggests, any even *remotely* current distro should work just fine. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
