[Linux-disciples] where to compile from

[Karl Sokol]

Am I correct in assuming that my kernel-source needs to match the installed 
kernel? If so, where should I find the source. I am still a little confused 
as to where general linux code ends and where distribution specific packages 
begin.

karl at ubuntu:/usr/src$ ls
alsa-driver.tar.bz2 kernel-source-2.4.27.tar.bz2 rpm

karl at ubuntu:/usr/src$ uname -a
Linux ubuntu 2.6.10-5-386 #1 Tue Apr 5 12:12:40 UTC 2005 i686 GNU/Linux

karl at ubuntu:/usr/src$ apt-cache search kernel-source
