I want to know what is the benefit/necessity of upgrading to a new kernel?
Kernel updates help a lot (for example, my wifi card wasn't recognized in the ancient kernel-using CentOS, but worked fine under Ubuntu and Fedora, which both have newish kernels), fix weirdness, kind of like bios updates, improve performance a bit, etc.
They're like updating to a new Windows, because the old one doesn't support something, or glitches out tons.
