if you need to use USB then you must get the 2.3 USB backport. 2.2 USB is a widely known joke. its worthless, iirc the config help section for it says DON'T USE THIS, ITS CRAP! ;-) if you don't need USB (like me, i use all adb input devices and no USB) then the stock ftp.kernel.org 2.2.17 is just fine (on G3s anyway) fortunatly Alan decided to just throw in the towel and include the 2.3 USB backport in 2.2.18 since pretty much every distribution included the patches in thier kernels anyway, its well tested and 2.2's USB is quite worthless so why not? i don't know for sure if the PPC USB backport is the same as the generic USB backport that intel users use. i would presume that any PPC fixes will be included too. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
