redhat 7.1's "2.4.3" includes a lot of the patches that eventually made it into kernels as recent as 2.4.6. this is pretty typical of redhat kernels as they apply whatever patches they need as they go through their qual cycle. in production, i generally would only touch "released" versions of the kernels from folks such as redhat... i only use the latest from ftp.kernel.org if i'm playing with an experimental system. -dean
