Title: Kernels
Post by: Master of Reality on 13 June 2002, 07:18

Whats so good about having 2.4 rather than 1.2? Is there any reason i might want to use an older kernel when i create my Linux From Scratch? Do the BSDs use a different kernel or the exact same kernel?

2.4 is the newest stable kernel.  Most software you fins now requires at least 2.2 to run.

As for the BSD's they each have a different kernel; if OpenBSd used the FreeBSd kernel, then it wouldn't be a different BSD, would it?  It would be a distro of FreeBSD.
