As far as I know there are still RHEL3 setups running, and RHEL3 is based on the 2.4.21 Linux kernel. So how could RHEL3 include NPTL ? The kernel version included in RHEL3 can be verified easily: as known the CentOS RPM's package the same software versions as the equivalent RHEL version. It can be verified on any CentOS mirror that version CentOS 3.0 includes kernel 2.4.21. See e.g. ftp://ftp.belnet.be/mirror/ftp.centos.org/3/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS.
