8. BackupsIf you are already running a kernel that is the same version of the
one you are about to patch I recommend creating a fresh
directory for the newly patched kernel. Remember that backups are
never a bad thing. These are the files that I back up: /etc/lilo.conf /usr/src/*.deb
(Debian-specific) /etc/modules /etc/modutils/aliases /usr/src/linux/.config If you are not doing things The Debian Way you should also back up the /lib/modules directory, /boot/vmlinuz, /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage and /usr/src/System.map. It's possible my notes on the location of these files differs. Do a locate <file> if they're not where I've stated they should be.

GNU/Linux
Linux is a free Unix-type true multitasking operating system originally developed by Linus Torvalds as a young student in Finland, it was started as a hobby in April of 1991. The project quickly took off and has since been developed with the assistance of developers around the world and is still maintained by Linus to this date. Developed under the GNU General Public License, the source code for Linux is freely available to everyone. Linux refers to the kernel (the core of an operating system), but most of the basic OS tools come from the GNU project, hence the name GNU/Linux. Many aren't aware of the importance of GNU in relationship to Linux, Linux would not be where it is today without the existence of the GNU project.
