I can think of a reason easily. I get my internet access from DirecWay satellite. Until recently I was using the modem that was only intended to run with Windows. I had to run a 2.4 kernel because the sourceforge DirecPC driver wouldn't compile for 2.6. otoh, I needed a 2.6 kernel to use many of the functions of my Dell laptop. So I used 2.6 at work, and 2.4 at home. Now, DirecWay has a combined modem/router, like most cable/DSL connections and is completely OS ignorant, so I only run a 2.6 kernel. -- derek -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
