I don't remember the exact rules, but it's something like this: 1) Linus releases the kernel. 2) It is supported for a while as a -stable kernel. 3) Some kernels are selected for longer support and supported as -longterm kernels. Currently the 2.6.32 kernel is the oldest -longterm kernel and it will still be supported for a while. I don't think 2.6.33 is supported any more. Honestly, I would prefer to use a distro kernel over the -stable kernel. Oh, and btw your question is totally offtopic for this list. ;) regards, dan carpenter
