But it is missing all security updates.
What I am currently doing to workaround this problem:
- using Debian Sarge on my production servers as a base
(good packages, but kernel is just too old)
- Kernel 2.6.12 from Ubuntu Breezy (taken as source, not binary packages)
This way I have at least a working kernel (2.6.8 does not work on my newer
boxes) and the security updates from Ubuntu, getting kernel updates with
only little changes and low update-risks.
Mainstream kernel is just unusable when you don't have the time to verify
the lots of changes in production environments.
