I read about it in an email about what's new in 2.2 that I received. I've mentioned it on my local linux mailing list and nobody corrected me. It should be relatively easy to check, but I haven't.
As for why it should need more than 4meg? Well it's pretty hard to install a major linux distribution with less than 8. Features feature, and of course the hardware is cheaper and more available. I don't write the kernels, I just use them. I guess that means I don't have a lot of say in the memory requirements. I think Linus Torvalds uses a quad xeon, I don't suppose he's overly concerned. -- Binary Bar - Australia's first free access internet bar/cafe/gallery. 243 Brunswick Street, Fitzroy, Melbourne, Australia. 3pm - 1am http://www.binary.net.au/ Running on Debian/GNU Linux
