Is there a way to get an email notification when kernels are updated/deprecated?

Well, for now I signed up for a Google Reader account, subscribed to the linode.com/kernels RSS feed, and added the Google Reader gadget to my Google Apps inbox. If there is an easier way to get these updates to my inbox, I will be glad to hear it.

link to the gadget?

Google RSS to email and you'll get things like http://www.feedmyinbox.com/

http://www.google.com/ig/modules/reader.xml


But it looks like once the "new look" is rolled out to everyone that this workaround won't work anymore. As far as I can tell, the Gadget window will be gone. (It isn't working, at least, when I try the new look.)

As I am on mailing lists for all of my software and thus automatically receive updates when packages are updated, it sure would be nice to receive notification when I need to update my kernel by the same means. As I'm not an RSS person, I have to go a bit out of my way to get this info and I'm thus less likely to consistently do so, which bothers me.

Shoot, already on the new look.

Good thing I posted a solution for you that would take about three minutes of time (and, IMO, should be a fairly obvious google for someone who wants RSS via email).

If I have to do that I will but I prefer not to hand out my address to sites that are obviously going to pester me with upsell spam.
