<h2>Choosing a Kernel</h2>
<p>With the large number of pre-built kernels available these days, finding the correct one can often be difficult. With a few pointers, you should be able to figure out which kernel best suits your needs.</p>
<p>Most likely you will want to download one of the stable kernels. Unless you enjoy testing new features and "living life on the edge," the stable kernel will almost always be more than adequate for your system.</p>
<p>With the arrival of 2.2.18 and 2.4.0-test10, all of the changes in the Paulus and Ben kernels have been merged into the official tree. The Paulus and Ben trees are now frozen, and almost all of the PowerPC kernel work is done in the BitKeeper tree. In addition, the BitKeeper and Official trees will most likely be fairly similar to each other for some time now.</p>
<!--<p>Unfortunately I only have personal experience with the Paulus kernels, so I can't recommend a certain tree. My understanding of the Ben kernel is that it contains some minor changes to the Paulus stable tree, those changes being mostly related to USB device drivers. The "Paulus Stable" kernel has always seemed to work fine for me, so I found no need to switch. But feel free to experiment, and I welcome any comments you have about the other kernels here.</p>-->
