      I thought I would see if there is anyone who has upgraded their kernel to the latest kernel 4.7?

      With security issues that I have seen I thought I would ask before deciding to patch or upgrade.

        Unless I'm mistaken, there aren't yet packages for kernels beyond 4.4 so doubtful many people have.

            4.4 is just the long term, however it has major security flaws in it, my RPi server even runs 4.7 specifically because of the security flaws

              Ah, well I stand corrected!

              Can I see your /etc/apt/sources.list and anything in /sources.list.d? I'm curious why I don't see one.

                      to find it, on the command line put in:

                      sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
