By most accounts Linus has seriously broken the concept of a stable kernel with the latest series. Alan Cox has been really scathing of his behaviour. There have been far too many fundamental changes in the recent "stable" versions. Avoid anything after 2.4.9 for now I think. I tried upgrading recently and it broke ALSA among other things. http://lwn.net provides good coverage of the happenings on the Kernel list each week. -- Rev Simon Rumble <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> www.rumble.net -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
