Now, more recent kernels seem to NEED massive updates for security purposes.... I am not sure what that tells me. I am also not sure I like what it tells me.
I think what it *should* be telling you is that we are much more aware of security issues today. Back in the 2.0 kernel days, as I'm sure you'll recall, the internet was wide open compared to today. I don't even know that the first worm had been spread at that time. I realize that you're talking about fixes having been backported from 2.2 kernels, and you are therefore talking about times a little forward of that, but the point is still the same: comparing the security considerations of 2.4 kernels versus 2.0 kernels is basically a red herring. Would you like to talk about Windows 3.11 security as well?
