/usr/src/kernel-source-version# or /usr/src/linux-version#
Usually /usr/src/linux is just a symlink to
/usr/src/this-is-where-the-goodies-are, but if you unpack a tarball into
/usr/src/linux, you do all sorts of weird things to filestructures and
configurations. Also, some people get confused when they download a
tarball, extract it, and then wonder why they aren't in the correct
version when they use /usr/src/linux.
