I don't remember the exact rules, but it's something like this:
1) Linus releases the kernel.
2) It is supported for a while as a -stable kernel.
3) Some kernels are selected for longer support and supported as
-longterm kernels.
Currently the 2.6.32 kernel is the oldest -longterm kernel and it
will still be supported for a while. I don't think 2.6.33 is
supported any more.
Honestly, I would prefer to use a distro kernel over the -stable
kernel.
Oh, and btw your question is totally offtopic for this list. ;)
regards,
dan carpenter
