Tsuroerusu Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 I may be 100% wrong about this, but I don't believe that Mandrake by default uses the vanilla sources for their distribution, I noticed on the update sites that there are an RPM for the kernel-source of version 2.4.28, but I was wondering if there is an RPM out for version 2.4.29 of the Mandrake kernel. The reason I'm asking is because I'm tryng to get Mandrake 10.1 to run on my Xbox, and the newest kernel patches are for 2.4.29 as far as I know.

scarecrow Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 Most "major" distros use heavily patched kernels, for the sake of ease of use... so "vanilla" is faraway, and more than that building and using a vanilla kernel on MDK/SuSE/RH/whatever popular usually leads to problems. AFAIK Slackware uses vanilla kernels, and 10.1 is simply gorgeous- so you could give it a try. My fav currently is Arch Linux, which with ome audacity can be labelled "Slackware on steroids".
