You might be surprised.  I recently saw a survey somewhere
(LinuxMafia, I think) that showed what Linux versions people 
were using.  A surprising number were still using quite old 
ones.  I suppose, if that dusty Linux server in the back room 
has run flawlessly for four years, there's no point in "upgrading".

Moreover, if anyone wishes to read the full header of this email, 
they will see that I am writing this on a 2.0.34 kernel.

Cheers,
Steven
