> Given that appear to be much later than 2.2.*, some of them apparently > quite stable, why would you want to use a 2.2 series kernel? because (in spite of Florin's .sig line) some people prefer to not fix something that isn't broken. :) going from 2.2.14 to 2.2.20 is a good move, tho. I've seen some reliability issues with 2.2.14 (especially on non-x86 hardware), and I had a noticeable improvement in responsiveness and increased efficiency when going from 2.2.14 to 2.2.18. there's also a small bit of hassle with upgrading to a 2.4 kernel... some associated packages need new versions.
