Linode Kernel vs Distribution Kernel via GRUB2
With the recent Copy_Fail stuff I went to look at my linodes and noticed that the older ones were configured to boot with a Linode kernel, whereas the newer ones boot using the distributions kernel vs GRUB2.
Debian came out with a patched one many days before Linode did.
Which raises the question - should I be using the Linode supplied kernel, or a distribution kernel? What are the pros/cons/use-cases for each?
