Well if you were to read the Changes file for 2.2.5 you will see that there
is no LIB changes, the text is the same, a normal Redhat-6.0 system should
have no problem with 2.2.xx kernels.
Dont forget upgrading LIBS can destroy your system if you do not know what
you are doing, its by no means an easy task for a newbie.
