Gee Karl, Isn't that a little obnoxious to say about free software?

I'm running ny RedHat 5.2 systems with kernel 2.2.1-ac4 right now:-)
But then I've been running 2.1 kernels for the last year and I ran
every one of the nine 2.2.0 pre release kernels, including the last
one which broke ide-scsi emulation:-(

It should go without saying that if you are going to grab a new kernel
in advance of the packagers of RedHat or any other distribution having
yet made it available with their package then you should expect a few
hard knocks.  That's why it's called the bleeding edge.  RedHat 5.2
pre-dates kernel-2.2.  When you find a kernel-2.2* RPM at the RedHat
5.2 updates site, then I would say the folks at RedHat have integrated
the kernel into the 5.2 distrubution.  You will probably find 20 other
rpms there that need to be updated to match the new kernel.
