Black Lab Linux 6.5 incorporates two different kernel packages, Linux kernel 3.13 LTS and Linux kernel 3.16.0-31, which is used by default then booting the operating system from the Live DVD or after installation. The LTS (Long Term Support) kernel is there for users who have hardware components that aren’t recognized by the default Linux kernel package.
