Some of the various things that Linux supports (such as network
|
|
drivers, file systems, network protocols, etc.) can be in a state
|
|
of development where the functionality, stability, or the level of
|
|
testing is not yet high enough for general use. This is usually
|
|
known as the "alpha-test" phase among developers. If a feature is
|
|
currently in alpha-test, then the developers usually discourage
|
|
uninformed widespread use of this feature by the general public to
|
|
avoid "Why doesn't this work?" type mail messages. However, active
|
|
testing and use of these systems is welcomed. Just be aware that it
|
|
may not meet the normal level of reliability or it may fail to work
|
|
in some special cases. Detailed bug reports from people familiar
|
|
with the kernel internals are usually welcomed by the developers
|
|
(before submitting bug reports, please read the documents
|
|
<file:README>, <file:MAINTAINERS>, <file:REPORTING-BUGS>,
|
|
<file:Documentation/BUG-HUNTING>, and
|
|
<file:Documentation/oops-tracing.txt> in the kernel source).

drivers that have been replaced by something else, and/or are

|
scheduled to be removed in a future kernel release.
|
|
|
|
Unless you intend to help test and develop a feature or driver that
|
|
falls into this category, or you have a situation that requires
|
|
using these features, you should probably say N here, which will
|
|
cause the configurator to present you with fewer choices. If
|
|
you say Y here, you will be offered the choice of using features or
|
|
drivers that are currently considered to be in the alpha-test phase.
