Actually I really wanted to know how compatible different versions of Linux
are. As in, if I have old hardware and get the source for a driver, will I
be able to keep it working into the future. Or are the drivers for Red
Hat, Debian, and Mandrake so different that one would really have to
rewrite the driver from scratch for each one of them. I would guess that
Linux 2.2... would take the same drivers no matter who did the
distribution. I just thought I would check before I cast that assumption
into stone.
