Difference between kernel-3.2.18-pclos1 and kernel-3.2.18-pclos2
« on: December 15, 2012, 08:47:59 AM »
I noticed that Synaptic has two versions of the latest stable kernel, 3.2.18. There is a set of *-pclos1 and a set of *-pclos2 kernels. As far as I can see, the description is identical. Why the two sets?

when this happens is because a important patch or a unnecesary driver was removed that could help on a certain hardware situation

you can install both and test both

if one doesn't work, boot with the other but if both work then use both to see if one is faster than the other in your hardware and choose one, i generally use the latest unless my hardware refuses to load in it
