I still have some questions.
The stable kernel is called vanilla?but the file name is linux-version.tar.gz?
Such as the kenrel linux-2.6.8.tar.gz can be called a vanilla?
The term "vanilla" is short for "plain vanilla", which means lacking in
adornments or extra features. It is derived from the use of vanilla as
a basic flavor in deserts to which other optional flavors may be added.
For the kernel, vanilla simply refers to Linus' kernel with no extra
patches applied to it.
Example:
2.6.13 is a vanilla kernel
2.6.13-rt3 is not (it's vanilla 2.6.13 + rt patches)
