The -ac patch set currently includes security fixes and known bug fixes, so it's probably what you want (and the Fedora kernels are based on it). Keep an eye on http://www.linux.org.uk, though: Alan Cox (who does the -ac patches) will occasionally do "new feature" experimental releases. > I am currently using a vanilla kernel > and would like to patch it but can't really find anything kernelnewbies > says that "ac" is stable but http://kernel.org/patchtypes/ac.html says > the opposite. That page is out of date now. Alan used to produce -ac patches that were a proving ground for new code and new features before they went into Linus' kernel, while trying to keep the resulting kernels bug-free (at least for existing users, and compared to their previous kernels). He largely succeeded. Andrew Morton's -mm patches now fill this role.
