I have to do alt-F2 "update-manager -d" in order to see the 10.10 message even if ubuntu is config to notice me of normal releases.And then just before the update begins, the official readme says that 10.10 is (at the moment) a RELEASE CANDIDATE version. Just an old not-updated readme?Why does Ubuntu official home page annunces 10.10 as a stable version?

I am using Maverick.
I want to install Debian Stable 8 Jessie. I've tried the main website, of course, first. But there are a lot of options there to download Debian 8: CD, DVD, Live etc. I downloaded debian-live-8.0.0-amd64-lxde-desktop.iso and I booted live in VirtualBox. It boots fine and the operating system looks in order.
Questions/problems:
1. The desktop icon for the installer says "Install Debian sid". But from what I know "sid" is unstable version. I do not want unstable, nor testing. I just want normal Stable. Did I got the wrong version? The website is a bit confusing about which version is which.
2. How do I check the md5 of the iso? I know how to do that with other distros, they usually specify it near the download link and I can execute in terminal the command 'md5sum' followed by the specific linux distro iso and then compare the numbers. But I can find no such thing for Debian. I searched the website but could not find any clear info.
3. After I install, what should I do in order to make Iceweasel work with Flash and multimedia codecs? I also need Skype and the proprietary Nvidia drivers.
And if I enable these non free, do I get automatic updates for them like for the rest of standard Debian software? Or, if not, what should I do?
The idea is that I want a system that is as stable and bug free as possible, but I won't use many apps beyond these ones. I don't need the latest and greatest software as long as these get security updates. Should I be ok with this configuration?
Is there a way to get the newest version of firefox on debian stable? Also I downloaded google chrome and installed it but it won't show up in my menu or under installed programs in the software center.

Which is the current stable version of kernel in fedora 10 and how can I installed because right now I have unstable kernel:

I just want to get back to latest stable kernel of fedora 10. I'm not able from the grub to choose an older because there are only kernels for fedora 9. The problem was that previously I used fedora 9 however I upgrade it but it was still with kernel of fedora 9 so I pick it the unstable of fedora 10 and I installed it. Right now I just want to get back to current version of kernel in fedora 10 so I can upgrade it to fedora 11.
I am using fedora 6 and i want to upgrade but i am not sure which version of fedora is more stable for production use.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI recently bought a Dell 10v netbook and put Debian lenny on it. I got everything up and running, except that sound doesn't work. Two links I found said that the solution was to download alsa-drivers, alsa-lib, and alsa-util from the ALSA website and ./configure && make && make install:

Another source says this can be fixed on Etch by recompiling alsa from source:

However, I'm running stable lenny, and I'd rather do things the "right" way instead of doing a regular make install. Is there a way to grab the binary packages from testing/unstable and install those without problems? If that's not possible, can I grab the source package from testing/unstable and use that? If that's not possible, can I download the source from ALSA's website and build a package myself?

I am running CentOS release 5.3 (Final)
kernel: CentOS (2.6.18-53.1.13.el5)
After updating to the version: CentOS (2.6.18-164.el5), the server is not stable and i have got a lot of this kind error:
Sep 19 02:08:36 server kernel: EXT3-fs error (device sda8): ext3_lookup: unlinked inode 3372068 in dir #5148223
Sep 19 02:08:36 server kernel: Aborting journal on device sda8.
Sep 19 02:08:36 server kernel: EXT3-fs error (device sda8): ext3_lookup: unlinked inode 3372071 in dir #5148223[code].....
I just ran "yum update" to download the latest kernel from the repository, and noticed that it's 2.6.18-164.11.1 while the latest on www.kernel.org is 2.6.32.4.Out of curiosity, why is there such a discripency between the two? Lack of resources to test and build binaries?
