Linux Lite Kernel

[rokytnji]

Installed 3.17 on this Dell E5500. This SSD drive has tested the other kernels on the Compaq CQ 57 and the Compaq showed no love for the kernels 3.15 on up. Same on Dell XT2 Touchscreen Laptop. Here is hoping there is some love coming from this Dell E5500.
I will be testing this and putting the kernel through it paces later.

Code:

It is always a good sign when no kernel panic kicks on on older gear.
