Linux: Custom Kernels with Debian and Fedora

“Debian’s kernel source packages are named
linux-source-[version]. The current official source package
versions are linux-source-2.6.18 (stable), linux-source-2.6.21
(testing and unstable), and linux-source-2.6.22 (unstable and
experimental).

“Binary Debian kernel packages are named linux-image-[version].
It’s been this way since version 2.6.12, if you’re remembering the
olden days of the kernel-source and kernel-image packages. The new
naming convention opens the door to using other kernels with
Debian, which I don’t know what those would be, but Debian is ready
for them.”
