Well, the next release (debian 4 I think, aka "sarge") is probably still a year away, it's hard for us to say. I'm sure we'll release with the latest stable, proven kernel at the time when the freeze occurs. Anyhow, one thing to remember, whatever we release with, it's easy to upgrade to any kernel while running Debian. The only time it matters is when you have to install and use the kernels we have available. My understanding of the completely new installation system which will premier with sarge is that it will be rather easy to replace the kernel. -- ...Adam Di Carlo..<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>...<URL:http://www.onshored.com/>
