Question
Do you update kernels sometimes?
Hello, the question is in the title.
I'm asking this because in past (this summer), I had a VPS, based on openvz technology, and the kernel was terribly old (2.6.18) and I had Ubuntu 11.10 but I was unable to upgrade to 12.04 LTS directly because of the kernel. (I was able to bypass this by doing a "apt-add-repository ppa:izx/ovz-libc" but i searched a couple of hours). I decided to quit because mysql server 5.5 never wanted to install (even with 512 ram, so probably because of the old kernel), and your VPS, even with 256 mb, installs it without problem.
Also, is there a kernel by OS or the server runs its own kernel and VPS inherits it (like openvz)?
