There being so many repositories with "sub-repositories" that I do not
keep track of many; however, yumex reveals many of these. For ELRepo,
there is an EL7 community kernel repository. Is anyone using this for
production machines (presumably, yes)? If so, how do these differ from
the "stock" SL (CentOS, RHEL, ...) kernels? If one uses an ELRepo
kernel, and one then does a minor release upgrade of SL (assuming yum
upgrade or something similar actually works, not requiring smashing the
system partitions), will the ELRepo kernel "parts" play nicely with such
a SL upgrade, or are there conflicts resulting in either no-boot (system
failure) or instabilities? For "new" laptops/tablets that do not have
the necessary drivers in stock SL, does the ELRepo kernel repository
provide additional current drivers (as might be present in Ubuntu or
even fully enthusiast, not enterprise production, Linux distros)?
