When I do a dist-upgrade on the Darkside64 it does not pull in a newer kernel version, but remains at 3.7.5, why? Both source list and apt
preferences are the same as in other BBQ installs. Not a biggie, but it has made me very curious.

Due to the lack of crystal balls, attach the output of lspci -nnk if you encounter hardware problems.

Re: ? about dist-upgd from the Darkside64
This is by design, vic.
Install the
sudo apt-get install linux-image-siduction-amd64 linux-headers-siduction-amd64
to get the newest available automatically. If you are happy with the newer one, you can remove these 2 packages again, the kernel won't be touched in upgrades.
I did this because 3.9.x and 3.10-x were reported to break wifi on certain models (especially the 3.10.-3 IIRC)
