I'm running 2.2.0pre4 on Slink right now with no apparent problems, so even though Slink won't likely ship with 2.2, you can upgrade easily. I compiled and installed this kernel using Debian kernel-package. Check out the kernel's CHANGES file to see other upgrades needed to make the jump to 2.1/2.2: http://www.linuxhq.com/change21.html Make sure you read this before you report any problems. As far as I can tell, the only package in Slink that doesn't make the cut version-wise is sysutils; 'procinfo' segfaults on the newer kernels. It's something most people can live without, although it's nice. miket
