Compatibility with ancient legacy and/or binary-only software, support contract requirements, or just the ability to laugh off any lawsuit threats from SCO (6.2 shipped with a 2.2.14 kernel, and the latest update brings it up to 2.2.24). The last one seems like the most fun, although 7.0 used a 2.2 kernel, too. > I won't be at the beer meeting friday but I'm sure someone could get a > copy to you there.
