From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What I'd like to know is, how can I find out when these kernel patches came or will come to something like Ubuntu or CentOS or SLES?
Opencve.
Also, just hook up to yum and keep that test VM set updating daily.
EL has been so stable that I've had a good portion of the herd cron-yumming for about 20 years now. It's gone about 2% to shit since systemd and networkmangler and other useless fridge art, but it's still the easiest method to avoid 95% of problems.
You may not like the numbers, but 7 THOUSAND consecutive successful update runs is a decent enough track record for me. Make sure to
needs-rebooting&&rebooton a decent schedule.
