what that means is that we've almost totally missed the 2.2 kernel. we're an entire release cycle behind. there's a plethora of hardware and features that we just flat out can't do with our 'stable' distribtion. people will be expecting to see the 2.4 kernel when we finally release potato. for a brief list of the things a stable installation debian can't do, see: http://www.kernelnotes.org/wonderful22.html Wonderfull world of 2.2 http://www.kernelnotes.org/whatsnew22.html What's new in 2.2 http://www.kernelnotes.org/change23.html 2.3.x Changelog i don't really expect to see 2.4 in potato. i do however hope that it won't be another year before we see people giving out Debian 2.4 CDs at the LUG meetings. -- (jacob kuntz) [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED],underworld}.net (megabite systems) "think free speech, not free beer."
