current Linux distribution

2002-08-28 Thread Shimon Lebowitz
Hi, After a period of time away from Linux, I am back to looking at it again, and have a question. The system I have here is Suse 7.0, kernel 2.2.16. Is this a reasonable level to be working with, or should I try to get something newer? What about patches (such as the famous timer-clicks)?

The 2.2.16 kernel is quite backleveled. SuSE, Turbo and RedHat all have distributions using the 2.4.7 kernel, which is far more stable and capable than 2.2.16. (the current kernel is, I believe, the 2.4.19 kernel, but SuSE and RedHat at least haven't come out with distros for them. 2.6.x is
