[Discuss] Debian Question

[CHRISTOP-PERRAULT at comcast.net]

I come from more a yum/RHEL based background and I know you can configure yum to exclude certain packages (in this case being the official kernel). This link looks like it has the Debian/apt-get answer:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/99774/exclude-packages-from-apt-get-upgrade

I've only done this with openjdk packages that I can't upgrade because of compatibility issues, but I'm guessing you can do the same with kernel.
