"As you can see, Slackware 10.2 is still using a 2.4 kernel
(2.4.31) for the default system kernel. The 2.4.31 kernel
has been rock- solid here, and it seemed best to put out one
more 2.4 based 10.x release of Slackware before heading
full-force into 2.6 territory because a lot of people are
going to want to be running the 2.4 kernel on production
machines for a long time to come, and some of the changes to
the system that will be needed to fully embrace all of 2.6's
features aren't necessarily
2.4 kernel-friendly."
$slack = $debian;
$slack =~ s/Debian/Slackware/;
That explains it quite well. :)
