I wanted to try Debian Wheezy, cause i love its solidity and as you know some months ago\u00a0 it was officially released as ‘ stable ‘\u00a0 Needless to say that it’s really<\/strong> stable.
\nMy pc is equipped with an i5\u00a0 quadcore processor so I ‘ve installed 64 bit version
\nHaving started from a netinstall version, at the end of the fast network installation I had nothing except the beautiful black shell (having unchecked flag “desktop environment” that I would ‘nt have installed gnome); After I’ve decided to install KDE, also for better testing\u00a0 new future kernel, so
\napt-get install kde-standard
\n<\/span><\/span><\/em>After i finished installation packages, the system was absolutly perfect
\nHowever, by running a “uname-r<\/span>”\u00a0 current kernel was 3.2 ; ok it works great, but … Why i can not use a kernel not so dated and that supports better devices, (considering also that my pc is a regular Desktop so is not required same stability needs a server.) Then I tried to download, compile and install another kernel and I decide for 3.10.5 version’.
\nWe can start whit this packages: (switching on root or using sudo):
\nsudo apt-get install kernel-package fakeroot build-essential ncurses-dev<\/span><\/em>
\nDownload\u00a0 new kernel :
\nwget <\/span>https:\/\/www.kernel.org\/pub\/linux\/kernel\/v3.0\/linux-3.10.5.tar.bz2
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/em>Extract the archive and cd into it:
\ntar xvf linux-3.10.5.tar.bz2<\/span><\/em>
\ncd linux-3.10.5\/<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

At this point we make sure to retrieve some info from the current kernel:
\n<\/em><\/span>cat \/boot\/config-`uname -r`>.config<\/span><\/em>
\nmake oldconfig<\/span><\/em>
\n<\/em><\/span>
\nYou will be asked a lot of questions; If in doubt, choose the default answer (press enter), now you can have fun in customization:-)
\nNext, do:
\nmake-kpkg clean<\/span><\/em>
\nCompile the kernel (number in bold\u00a0 is related to the number of CPUs, so replace with your CPU number- in my example is 4 cause i’ve 4 CPUs),\u00a0 following command will generate the kernel and the header in .deb format
\nsudo time fakeroot make-kpkg -j<\/span><\/span>4<\/span><\/strong> –initrd kernel_image kernel_headers<\/span>
\nat the end of this process will be two nice .deb files
\nlinux-headers-3.10.5_3.10.5-10.00.Custom_amd64<\/span><\/em>
\n linux-image-3.10.5_3.10.5-10.00.Custom_amd64<\/span><\/em>
\nNow we can install the kernel and headers *:
\nsudo dpkg-i linux-image-3.10.5_3.10.5-10.00.Custom_amd64.deb<\/span><\/em>
\nsudo dpkg-i linux-headers-3.10.5_3.10.5-10.00.Custom_amd64.deb
\n<\/span><\/em>then when it finished, make a reboot ,and new kernel will appear in your grub:-)
\n* are files that allow you to compile and install external driver to the kernel without having to download the sources of the latter and recompile everything.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
