I can understand that. This just seemed the most readily available resource. All of you über-geeks out there...I appreciate your knowledge and hard work.

I suggest you subsribe to the kernelnewbies maillist instead. Start from
http://www.kernelnewbies.org.
It's much more useful for a newbie.
LKML is for developing linux kernel, not for tutoring how to use kernel. Don't expect/ask those hackers
to speak in language easy to understand for everyone.

Well, unfortunately, you guys are still talking a little above my head. I kind of understand what you are saying but not completely. Are the -aa and -ac patches? How do you install/run a patch? Are they tags to put in when compiling? What is VM28-vm30? All I've done so far is untar the tarballs from kernel.org (or wherever) and go from there. Finally started having success with it, but all this stuff that you guys are talking about on the development level is a little above me. Which, BTW, is partly why

varying levels of "stable" and "safe".
Then what do you call -aa and -ac? ;)
These "all-in-one" patches do make it harder to debug specific patches,
but

it does create a wider audience for many patches that wouldn't be used otherwise.
I don't put -aa nor -ac in the same category as what I refer to above. Alan and Andrea's trees both contain an intelligent combination of useful patches, bug fixes, and code from Alan and Andrea themselves.
The plethora of all-in-one every-patch-under-the-sun patchsets don't fall into the above category, in my opinion. They just mix various new feature patches. They do offer one benefit: much wider exposure for some potentially very useful patches. I have found, however, that they don't help the actual patch authors much since (a) they are mixed in with many other patches and possibly even erroneously merged and (b) the bug reports never make it upstream to the actual patch maintainers.
Maybe I'm just annoyed by the even greater signal-to-noise ratio on lkml :-)
